From falling into a ditch to getting hit by an auto -- Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone faced it all while shooting for her upcoming movie Lafangey Parindey and she feels that it has been the most challenging film of her life. "This has physically been the most challenging film for me. I had to learn how to skate, then I had to act blind, I had to hold a pigeon, run behind a chicken, get bitten by a dead fish - don't ask me how," Deepika said.
"I fell a zillion times and even hurt my knee. By the way, my knee still hasn't healed. Oh! I also fell into a ditch with my face-in, got knocked over by an auto and hit a lamppost. I still have the mark where the fish bit," she added. Director Pradeep Sarkar has teamed up with Deepika, Neil Nitin Mukesh and a bunch of other actors to present the story of a group of youngsters living in the backstreets of Mumbai.
Produced by Adiya Chopra, it is releasing Aug 20, and will see Neil playing a boxer who fights blindfolded while Deepika will be seen as a visually challenged girl who can dance on skates. For her role of Pinky in the movie, Deepika had to train for almost six months on skates before the actual shooting started.
"At first, I trained in Mumbai with a local trainer. And then, Adi (Aditya Chopra) and dada (Pradeep Sarkar) flew down professional skaters from Italy. They wanted to make sure that whatever I do looks professional, exactly like we see on television," Deepika said.

Resham a film producer?
According to a recent interview, our very own Lollywood actress Resham is dreaming of becoming a movie producer. She is very excited about venturing into the telefilm industry. As for her acting future, she says, "I am tired of the glamorous roles; I want to accept roles where I can grow as an actress." Of all the Lollywood actresses, Resham (after Neeli) is a rare specimen of consistency and originality. And unlike some others, she is now investing in our own domestic industry. What can we say except "best of luck!!"

Akshay Kumar pays for a film
The actor can’t see people in suffering and rescues them out of almost any situation. Akshay Kumar recently sacrificed his own movie fee that was supposed to have be given by the filmmaker. Akshay Kumar was shooting for a movie and the producer rapidly faced a tough financial situation. The matters were getting out of hand for the filmmaker to complete the film and also pay Akki his fee.
When Akshay realised the dilemma of the filmmaker, he fished him out of this muddle. Akshay had refused to take a single penny for the movie and had let go of his fee, if reports are to be believed.With this generous act, Akshay has perhaps proved that sometimes money is not all that we think superstars are all about.
