Dusky
beauty
Deepika
Padukone,
who
is
playing
the
central
character
of
a
uber
cool
chick
in
the
film
Karthik
Calling
Karthik,
had
to
sacrifice
her
long
tresses
to
get
the
modern
look
for
the
film.
Deepika
is
seen
sporting
short
hair
and
is
yet
looking
gorgeous
in
this
eagerly
awaited
film.
But
to
convince
Deepika
to
cut
her
hair
wasn"t
an
easy
job
for
debutante
director
Vijay
Lalwani.
Vijay
Lalwani,
who
had
a
real
tough
time
convincing
Deepika
to
cut
short
her
hair
says,
“As
Deepika"s
character
is
very
bold,
modern
and
very
outgoing,
I
thought
that
her
long
locks
would
not
go
with
the
character.
And
initially
I
was
a
bit
hesitant
to
approach
Deepika
for
this,
as
for
any
girl
chopping
down
her
long
locks
would
be
difficult,
as
it
takes
years
to
grow
back
to
that
length
again.
But
at
last,
I
managed
to
convince
her
somehow."
Well!
Deepika
Padukone
is
looking
stunning
in
her
new
avatar,
her
new
look
will
really
compliment
her
performance
that
is
soon
to
come
on
26th
February
2010.
