Lafangey Parindey most challenging film - Deepika

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.
