Deepika Padukone is the flavour of the season. After her successful turn as Veronica in Homi Adajania's Cocktail, the actress has reportedly been flooded with offers from the likes of Prakash Jha, Rohit Shetty and Sanjay Leela Bhansali, among others. The actress, in turn, is excited about working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali on Ram Leela, provided it happens.

"It would be like a dream come true to work with him. If he's looking at me for Ram Leela, I'm most certainly looking forward to working in it. The way his heroines' roles are written is incredible." Deepika's portrayal of the endearing Veronica has put her in a different league. "I'd say yes, people's reactions have been surprising. I got compliments from my own fraternity. My contemporaries surprised me by saying that they cried and identified with Veronica. Someone called it a selfless performance."
