Newcomer Deepika Padukone is one of the few lucky newcomers who has got to play challenging roles at the start of her career. Deepika kicked off by playing a double role in Farah Khan's Om Shanti Om . Once again she will be portraying a twin image in Nikhil Advani's Chandani Chawk To China . But this time her roles are extremely different from each other. It is believed that in the first half of the film Deepika plays a character of the conventional Indian girl, while her other character is that of a Chinese girl, which appears in the second half. Now Deepika is not just donning a Chinese look but has also done all the action required for her character. Deepika went through some rigorous training to get her action scenes shot in the correct manner. Speaking about her role Deepika reveals, "Yes it was extremely challenging. I did take up this film as I would be doing action for the first time. I must say that doing Chandani Chawk To China is very exciting. I wish I could say more about it. But as its release date is yet to be finalized I can't reveal anything more at this stage." It can be recalled that the film was earlier known as Mera Naam Chin Chin Choo and also Made in China . Reportedly, it is a semi- autobiographical film on its lead actor, Akshay Kumar's life, about a chef who is mistaken to be a martial arts expert. Though Akshay is a trained martial arts expert and has done a lot of action, Deepika will not be seen as a Chinese doll. Let's wait for its first promo to see Deepika's art!

No exposing; Not for money or career : Ullal
Sneha Ullal, who shot to fame a few years ago with her strong resemblances to Aishwarya Rai, made her debut into the film industry opposite Salman Khan in the film Lucky. Even though her career did not take off to peak, she continued to be the celebrity on watch. Things seem to be changing for her as she tasted good success with recent release of Ullasamga Utsahamga. In fact, this is not her first film. Her first film in Telugu would be with Manoj Kumar Nenu Meeku Telusa. However, the film is yet to release and is expected to release in September. She garnered good reviews for her character in Karunakaran's Ullasamga Utsahamga. There were lot of good reviews on her that she looked very good in Ullasamga Utsahamga. Coming from Karunakaran, the film has very less scope of glamor angle. When you ask Sneha about her opinion on exposing and if you expected her to respond 'as per necessity', you fell flat on your face. She says, 'In Ullasamga Utsahamga, Karunakaran portrayed me in a pleasant character and also in Nenu meeku Telusa, I am doing a decent role. I want to continue that. I dont want to do that for the sake of money or career boost. I strongly believe that South Indians encourage talent and not mere exposing'.And also, Sneha Ullal does not really care much about being compared to Aishwarya Rai, she wants to be herself. 'Saying that I look like someone else is like seeing someone else in me. I want to be myself. But this comparison has both plus and minus. Hence I prefer to just ignore such statement', says Sneha. Sneha Ullal likes Tollywood very much. When asked about which industry did she feel good about; Bollywood or Tollywood; She responds, 'I like it here. Here People take it that I am nervous if I am reserved on sets. The same is considered being egoistic in Bollywood. You will be recognized only when you prove yourself otherwise you will feel the pinch of the rudeness'. Sneha hails from Mangalore where her father Nitin is a civil Engineer. She was brought up in Muscat. Her mother tongue is Sindhi. Now, it is a interesting thing on how she entered the Films. She was first spotted by Arptia (Salman Khan's sister) in MMK college Mumbai. Later, she got calls from someone who she thought was claiming himself to be Salman Khan. It was then when her mother intervened and called this guy that they realized it was really Salman Khan. And it quickly transformed into her acting in the film Lucky with Salman Khan. So how is she seeing the prospects in Tollywood? Well! She is approached by two producers already but they are not confirmed yet. But she already has a commitment in Hindi. The film is titled Aryan in the direction of Ashok Tyagi. Also, she is acting in a Hollywood film titled Gandhi Park in the direction of Tom George. All the best, Sneha.
