Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone says she is selfish when it comes to acting. “We all work so hard on every movie and want each one to have its own space to do it… sort of properly. But I look at the overall picture, of course I am selfish as an actor,” Deepika said at the unveiling of the video of “Wat wat wat” song from her forthcoming film “Tamasha.” “While ‘Piku’ has already released, now we have ‘Tamasha’ and then ‘Bajirao Mastani.’ So, as an actor I am very happy,” said the 29-year-old.
Talking about “Tamasha”, she said: “‘Tamasha’ is something that talks about breaking stereotype and expressing things differently. And I think we were expressing the character’s mood differently, how one could normally express that.” The movie also stars Ranbir Kapoor.
Ready to work in Hollywood
Speaking at the MAMI movie mela, Deepika said that she was exploring avenues in the West. The actress, who was offered ‘Furious 7’, said that she was now ready to star in projects in Hollywood.
She said, “There has been interest coming in from Hollywood and I will explore it now. I am very ambitious and am here (Bollywood) for a long time.” She doesn’t regret letting go the chance of ‘Furious 7’. “Fast and Furious 7 was a great opportunity. But I am glad I did Ram-Leela. If something as exciting comes up, I will take it,” said Deepika.
