       Deepika Padukone wishes audience love her as 'Leela'

       Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s newewst venture ‘Ram Leela’ is slated to
       be released on 15th November and it is a critical film for the
       leading lady Deepika Padukone. The actress has got some mega
       hits recently with ‘Race 2’, ‘Cocktail’, ‘Yeh jawani hain
       diwani’ and ‘Chennai express’. She had studied the female
       characters in the previous Bhansali films carefully so that she
       easily adapted to his style in the upcoming ‘Ram Leela’. "I
       watched all of Sanjay’s films," Deepika said "Each of his
       (female) characters has been so special and memorable." Bhansali
       has given silver screen characters like Nandini in ‘Hum Dil De
       Chuke Sanam’ played by Aishwariya, Paro and Chandramukhi in
       ‘Devdas’ played by Aishwariya and Madhuri Dixit respectively,
       Rani Mukherjee in ‘Black’ and Monisha Koirala in ‘Khamoshi’.
       Deepika has studied all these roles and has worked hard to make
       her own place in the film.
       A source close to the actress said, "She has always been
       inspired by the way Sanjay portrays female characters. She was
       impressed by Nandini’s (Aishwarya) character in Hum Dil... and
       Paro and Chandramukhi’s characters (portrayed by Aishwarya and
       Madhuri Dixit respectively) in Devdas (2002)." Deepika added,
       "If you look closely, every (female) character has her own life
       and journey; I hope my part is also as remembered and loved as
       that of Nandini, Paro or Chandramukhi’s." The latest Garba song
       released from ‘Ram Leela’ in fact shows a very close resemblance
       to ‘Dhol baaje’ song from ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’. Deepika
       seems to have consciously copied the steps and mannerisms of
       Aishwariya for this song.
       With so many recent successes to her credit, has something
       changed about the style and performance of Deepika? "There isn't
       anything that I have changed consciously though. I have not
       changed my approach towards work. I am still doing the kind of
       films that excite me at a given point in time. I am still going
       about my work the way I have done since ‘Om shanti om’. But yes,
       I won't deny that something has indeed changed since ‘Cocktail’.
       I can't pinpoint at anything specifically," said the actress.
       "If I am shown as a girl who is drinking, it doesn't mean that I
       don't have a heart or soul or I would be forever playing such
       parts. The issue is that very rarely do people sit and
       differentiate between an actor's real and reel life. On screen,
       it is just some roles that I am playing. In both RAM-LEELA and
       KOCHADAIIYAAN I would be seen in a 'desi' traditional avtar.
       Tomorrow when I find myself in a western set up again, the
       song-n-dance routine would be as per the requirement of that
       stage and setting," she said
