She has taken a break from Ye Jawaani... and Ram Leela to promote the Abbas-Mustan thriller. Deepika Padukone, who had famously walked out of Abbas-Mustan's Race 2 citing date issues, is now using the film as a reason to take a break from both Ayaan Mukerji's Ye Jawaani Hai Deewani and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Ram Leela.

TOI has learnt the two projects she is shooting for simultaneously, will have to be put on hold because she is taking time off in January to promote Abbas-Mustan's film. Next month, she will travel to different parts of the world to promote the multi-starrer.

Asource close to Deepika confirmed the news and said, "She will be occupied for the most part of January promoting Race 2. That is why she requested Ayaan and Bhansali to let her go for some time. Ayaan and Bhansali were not too amused but they relented."

Seems that the makers of Race 2 have happily left the past behind. When contacted, coproducer of Race 2 Jay Shewakramani said, "Deepika is very excited at the response she has been getting on Race 2. She is going all out to promote the film to the fullest."
