Deepika Padukone

Well, Deepika Padukone making her Hollywood debut is a quite an old news, but now we are excited about the hard work that the lady has put in to make her debut, larger than life. We saw the trailer and we are impressed to the core! She has really put in her heart and soul in ‘xXx: Return of Xander Cage’ and it has all paid off! But it seems that there’s one person who needs to be given credit for this! It’s none other than Dippy’s ‘Bajirao Mastani’ director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Why? We tell you…

Apparently, working with someone like Sanjay Leela Bhansali helped Deepika prepare a lot for her role of Serena. In a recent interaction, when Deepika asked whether her character in ‘xXx’ is the most physically challenging role that she has played so far, she said, “No actually…I think ‘Bajirao Mastani’ prepared me for this (laughs). I won’t even say Bajirao, I would say working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali kind of sets you up for the greatest of challenges. And yes, Bajirao to an extent – from the physical point of view – I think the training that the film required, the kind of action that it required and whatever we went through in that movie, physically and emotionally prepared me to take this.”
