Bollywood's sunshine girl Deepika Padukone is on cloud nine and rightly so. With her career going great guns and some exciting films in her kitty, the leggy beauty is now looking to consolidate her position in B-Town. Deepika says she has always been driven by work and variety attracts her. She has never been afraid of doing something just because it's different. In fact, each role that she has portrayed on screen so far has been in stark contrast from the other. She is now being linked with Farhan Akhtar. Deepika's portrayal as the new age girl in many flicks has endeared her to the audience. Speaking on how the film still has an impact on her, Deepika says, in real life too, she is not like Meera. In fact, she is always surrounded by her friends. When someone is in a romantic relationship, everything else takes a backseat.

Not only the shooting of Mani Ratnam's 'Raavana' is complete but also the post-production is in full swing. However, an incident from the last schedule of the movie is worth mentioning that the cast and the crew will never forget. Abhishek Bachchan plays Raavana and his co-star, South superstar Vikram plays Rama in the film. According to sources, there was a vital sequence in which Vikram had to climb down a 2000-feet high cliff. Action director Sham Kaushal had taken all necessary precautions to make sure there was minimal risk involved for the actors but he didn't know Vikram suffers from dizziness. Being a thorough professional, Vikram did not outright refuse to do the shot, but his anxiety while doing the rehearsals was sensed by co-star Abhishek Bachchan, with whom he shares a great working relationship. Abhishek volunteered to do the stunt himself. Abhishek began climbing down the mountain and asked Vikram to follow suit.
