 New Delhi : Actress Deepika Padukone dismissed reports that she is teaming up with Madhur Bhandarkar for a sequel to his film `Corporate', but said if given a chance, she would love to work with the filmmaker, known for making realistic and hard-hitting movies.
"Not that I am aware of this (that I'm working with Bhandarkar). But if he comes to me with the film and the script is interesting, I would love to work with him. He is one of the directors I would love to work with," Deepika, 24, told reporters.
The actress, who made her Bollywood debut with Farah Khan's `Om Shanti Om', was in the Capital on February 22 with actor Farhan Akhtar to promote their movie `Karthik Calling Karthik'.
Asked about the unusual pairing in the movie, she said, "I don't understand what's the big deal about this unusual pairing. I think one should just fit the character according to the director's wish. I was initially nervous about being paired with Farhan, but later all was well. He is an extremely funny person."
Deepika is sporting a new haircut these days and she said she was apprehensive when she was asked to cut her hair short to have a youthful look for the psychological thriller `Karthik Calling Karthik'.
"Vijay (director Vijay Lalwani) had said that he will get half bald if I agree to cut my hair for the film. I did it, but he did not keep his word. I was nervous about letting go of my hair. I have always had long hair and I think hair is the most sensual part of a woman. But then we did lot of look tests and tried on short wigs. Farhan's wife Adhuna sat me down and convinced me. She said it will look good. So then I agreed," she said.
