Deepika Padukone working hard to be a great dancer in 'Happy New Year'

November 7, 2013

Deepika_PadukoneMumbai, Nov 7: Actress Deepika Padukone, who will play an out-of-work bar dancer in 'Happy New Year', says she is working hard to be a great dancer in the film.

"Farah had a list of do's for the actress. I will prepare for it like any other film. If I am required to be a great dancer in the film, I will have to work damn hard. She wants a girl who is Maharashtrian, good dancer and a specific look. Manish Malhotra is doing my clothes, my hair stylist is there, I hope it turns out good," Deepika said.

Deepika has just completed one schedule of the Farah Khan directed film and will shoot the rest in April.

Her character in the film influences the lives of his co-stars - Shah Rukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonu Sood, Vivaan Shah and Boman Irani - as all of them are dancers and Deepika will help them win a dance trophy.

Deepika is riding high on the success of her last three releases- 'Race 2', 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani' and 'Chennai Express'.

Her last release 'Chennai Express' was aired on Zee TV last month and it managed to grab maximum eyeballs, taking Zee TV to be the number one channel.

"Record after record in our kitty, I am very happy. It is a great feeling.... Whether we like it or not, it (film) did get lot of love and appreciation. Forget it on TV, people even went to see the film again in theatres. It is that kind of the film that has repeat value. It is a wholesome entertainer. When you make the film from heart, I think this can be the end result (records)," she said.

But the records aren't putting much pressure on Deepika.

"I take each film as it comes. I put same kind of effort for 'Ram-Leela' as in 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani' and 'Chennai Express'. I have done the film with the same kind of hard work, conviction and honesty. I hope the end result is same as my previous films," Deepika said.

New Delhi, Jun 22: Amidst a strain in the ties between India and Nepal, actor Manisha Koirala, a Nepali national, on Monday urged people of both the countries to be not "aggressive and disrespectful" towards each other.

Koirala, a leading Bollywood actor of her times, took to Twitter to request people to let the respective government resolve the issues and stay "civil."

"A heartfelt request please let's not be aggressive and disrespectful..we are in this situation together..our respective Gov's will resolve the issue. In the meantime we can be civil ..I remain hopeful," she tweeted.

Earlier last week, Nepal 's Upper House of Parliament endorsed a proposal to discuss the Constitution amendment bill to update the country's map that incorporates parts of Indian territory.

Nepal's House of Representatives had on June 10 endorsed a proposal seeking consideration of a constitution amendment bill for change of country's map after a lengthy discussion. Nepal has made offers to India to hold "diplomatic talks to resolve the territorial issue" between the two countries.

New Delhi has said that the updated map is "not based on historical facts and evidence" and termed the claims by Nepal as artificial enlargement.

External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Anurag Srivastava also said that the move is violative of the current understanding to hold talks on outstanding boundary issues.

Washington, May 18: Joining hands with the European Commission, actor Leonardo DiCaprio launched the Virunga Fund with seed money of USD 2 million to support Africa's Virunga National Park.

Since Virunga has lost a significant amount of revenue due to COVID shutdown post-March, the fund will be used to support the national park and the communities around, reported Variety.

The fund is aimed at disease prevention efforts, protection of mountain gorilla, and other species.

"I had the great honor of meeting and supporting Virunga's courageous team in their fight against illegal oil drilling in 2013," Variety quoted DiCaprio as saying.

"Virunga urgently needs funds to protect the endangered mountain gorilla population, to provide support to the rangers and the families of rangers who have fallen in the line of duty, and to help deliver essential disease prevention efforts. It's critical that we rally together during this time of incredible crisis," he added.

The 'Titanic' actor had earlier produced a Netflix documentary film 'Virunga' which is based on the national park.
