Deepika Padukone at her best in ''Cocktail''

The portrayal of affection story changes in Bollywood each ten years. on guarantees to be a replacement flip with “Cocktail”. “Ten years back i used to be teaching scuba diving at some beach and twenty years back i used to be not the right age to own an opinion,” quips director Homi Adajania, who is returning to box workplace six years once he created the gray matter churn with “Being Cyrus”. it's this freshness in addressing an issue that's reflecting within the promos.



One reminds him twenty years back the conflict was ladka aur ladki kabhi dost nahin ho sakte (“Maine Pyaar Kiya”). nowadays we've got “Tum Hi Ho Bandhu Sakha Tumhi” blaring from each attainable outlet. The song is in reference to a boy and lady who apparently share a flat with another lady. “It’s smart that we've got come back an extended means from those regressive times. it's a really today’s story. Any youngster who can watch it'll be able to establish with one in every of the 3 protagonists.” within the metros, right? “I believe there's not a lot of distinction within the aspirations currently however yes the means it's pitched it's for a precise set of audience.” The hits on cyberspace recommend that “Cocktail” is showing its efficiency.

Homi says he wasn't too keen to direct a story of 3 friends who get hit by love bug once some extent however producer Dinesh Vijan, who co-produced “Being Cyrus”, created him decide the project. Out of friendship? “I am a beach bum and want some pushing and prodding. once “Being Cyrus” i used to be once more searching for a story with a psychotic part however Dinesh felt I ought to attempt to visualise a contemporary day love story from my perspective.”

The story has come back from Imtiaz Ali who looks to be distinctive from no matter we've got seen of Homi. “He is, however Imtiaz needed me to require his story and create the scenes, the journey my very own. He said the instant you are taking it i'll let it go. And you recognize most love stories are less concerning starting or finish and a lot of concerning the journey, the moments. it's in these moments that you just can see my bit, my fondness for small quirks and details,” says Homi who developed the screenplay with Imtiaz’s brother Sajid Ali.

The new triangle

Set in London, it's concerning Meera and Veronica (played by newcomer Diana Penty and Deepika Padukone); 2 women who come back from completely different backgrounds and have other ways to approach life. Meera may be a very little diffident and conservative whereas Veronica may be a wild kid who seeks attention all the time. When Gautam (Saif Ali Khan returns to his confused lover boy image!) enters their life, the ball starts rolling. In such films the primary 0.5 may be a breeze whereas within the second 0.5, when the director starts defining traditional and abnormal to succeed in out to an even bigger pool of audience, the film loses its voice. Here since Veronica comes from a fractured family, she has got to dress during a sure means and by the second 0.5 she's going to begin conforming. Homi defends, “She has grown up in London. Her dressing has got to do together with her attention seeking habit that has come back due to her family atmosphere. i think the characters are well outlined. They speak a language that kids can establish with and also the conflict and backbone is in sync with the characterisation. in fact 1st 0.5 is fun and also the second 0.5 deals with a scenario when love comes into the equation however there are not any sudden shifts.”

Styled by his wife, Anaita Shroff Adajania, Homi says you can’t argue along with your wife however fortunately she has gone along what I had envisioned for the characters. “When Meera breaks free, her alternative of colors still remains somewhat muted in distinction to Veronica, who is on the flashy aspect.” Homi is jam-packed with praise for Deepika. “I offered her to select from Meera and Veronica and she or he picked the latter that is against her well-liked image. She has gone the additional mile to form it credible. i'm positive her effort are going to be noticed.”

Is he finally back from the beach and also the quirks like taking a fakir to Venice Biennale? “You never apprehend. Let’s see how ‘Cocktail’ performs.”

Deepika on Veronica

"I have reached a stage in my career where I ought to begin taking part in stronger characters. taking part in Veronica was a sort of self discovery on behalf of me. She isn't apologetic concerning what she is. It needed a precise quite confidence. I didn’t apprehend I even have that body language to hold it off however after I did, I shocked myself during a strange way…I wasn't positive whether or not to select Meera or Veronica. it had been Imtiaz who prodded me to play Veronica as Meera has shades of the Meera I played in Love Aaj Kal…I don’t apprehend if Saif is nice at taking part in a confused lover boy however he's the foremost adorable lover boy on behalf of me. no one will beat him during this territory."
