Even
as
Deepika
Padukone's
latest
film
Cocktail
has
garnered
positive
reviews
for
its
music
and
look,
the
actress
says
she
is
not
bothered
about
Cocktail's
Box
Office
results.
"This
film
is
very
special
to
me.
Personally
it
has
been
a
journey
for
me
as
an
actor
as
I
have
invested
in
this
film
physically,
mentally
and
emotionally.
I
want
people
to
enjoy
and
feel
for
the
film
as
I
do.
I
am
not
concerned
about
box
office,
I
don't
care
how
much
money
it
earns," Deepika
told
reporters.
The
Homi
Adajania-directed
romantic
comedy
Cocktail
stars
Saif
Ali
Khan,
Deepika
Padukone
and
debutante
Diana
Penty,
besides
Dimple
Kapadia
and
Boman
Irani.
"For
me
money
does
not
matter.
I
want
people
to
enjoy
the
film.
Critics
and
people
enjoy
it,
in
that
case
if
the
film
earns
money
then
its
good," she
said.
Cocktail
is
a
story
of
three
friends
-
Gautam
(Saif),
a
flirt;
Meera
(Diana),
a
girl
with
desi
values;
and
Veronica
(Deepika)
who
is
a
bold
and
outspoken.
The
film
is
about
how
the
friendship
becomes
confusing
and
love
gets
complicated.
"The
film
is
a
journey
of
three
friends
of
different
personalities
and
then
how
love
happens
is
a
cocktail,"
Deepika
said.
Deepika
was
offered
both
the
roles
of
Meera
and
Veronica,
but
she
chose
to
play
the
latter.
"This
role
was
most
challenging
as
I
have
come
out
of
my
comfort
zone.
I
have
taken
a
risk.
When
Dinesh
Vijan
(producer)
asked
me
to
pick
up
a
role
out
of
the
two
-
Meera
or
Veronica.
I
thought
I
have
already
done
something
like
Meera
in
Love
Aaj
Kal
so
why
to
repeat
same
thing,
hence
I
chose
Veronica.
To
play
Meera
would
be
similar
and
Veronica
is
new
and
challenging,"
she
said.
