Deepika Padukone is on a high with five backto-back hits; 'Cocktail',
'Race 2', 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani', 'Chennai Express' and now 'Goliyon
Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela'. And buzz is that she is cashing in on the high
to become Bollywood's best paid actress.
Trade experts believe that she is a safe bet at the ticket windows. "She
can be counted in the hero's league," says trade analyst Taran Adarsh.
Another trade expert Amod Mehra is more wary in his assesment, "Deepika
has come a long way from the days of her plain Jane avatar in her debut
film 'Om Shanti Om'. Today, she is a sex goddess. She has worked her way
up. She should continue to work with big stars in woman-oriented
films."
Ramesh Taurani, who in fact was given a lot of grief by Deepika when she
threatened to walk out from his Race 2 until CINTAA (Cine & TV
Artistes Association) intervened, says, "She must be getting more money
than her contemporaries. She has delivered four hits just this year. She
is every filmmaker's first choice today."
