‘I don’t do cameos’
Actress Deepika Padukone.
Mumbai: During the song launch of O Fanny Re for the film Finding Fanny, Deepika Padukone spoke about how she came about doing the film.
“When we were shooting for Cocktail, Director Homi Adjanaia asked me if I would like to do a film with him. Later, he narrated the story and I liked the character, so I readily accepted it. More than anything it was the vision of the director, who kept me in mind for the role. And after I started shooting, I was more convinced that the role and the film were interesting as well as different. When you start believing in your director the outcome is always brilliant,” she says.
“Actually, I did not think too much about Finding Fanny. I just liked the role and the film and went ahead with it,” adds Deepika.
“I did find it a little difficult to perform this character initially as it is in English. This is what was challenging for me. But gradually we all got a hang of the subject and thus enjoyed the film,” she says.
With Ranveer Singh doing a cameo in the film, has Deepika returned the favour and done a cameo in Ranveer’s Dil Dhadakne Do? Deepika instantly replies, “I do not do ‘cameos’ and I did not have to convince Homi to give Ranveer a cameo role in Finding Fanny.”
Ranveer, of course, did not complain about his cameo. After all, for a half-day shoot, he spent 10 days on the sets of Finding Fanny. Company matters, after all.
