Mumbai:
Actress
Deepika
Padukone
is
all
set
to
dabble
in
out-in-out
action
for
Abbas-Mustan's
thriller
Race
2.
To
make
her
character
more
convincing,
this
time
around
the
26-year-old
actress
has
decided
to
shoot
the
hi-octane
stunts
without
a
double,
which
includes
a
thrilling
car
chase
sequence.
"Abbasji-Mustanji
(directors)
have
mastered
this
genre.
I
was
a
bit
nervous
during
the
first
couple
of
days
since
this
is
the
first
time
I
have
attempted
an
action
thriller,
but
they
gave
me
a
lot
of
confidence
and
made
me
feel
comfortable," said
Deepika,
who
looks
sizzling
on
the
poster
of
the
film,
in
a
white
gown
with
a
thigh-high
slit
and
scarlet
lips.
Director
Abbas
was
all
praise
for
the
actress
and
said
that
she
fulfilled
the
requirement
of
the
character
because
she
is
both
glamorous
and
fearless.
"Despite
her
romantic
heroine
image,
she
had
no
qualms
about
playing
a
character
that
had
grey
shades.
We
were
keen
on
casting
her
as
the
role
required
someone
really
glamorous
and
sexy
and
yet
look
convincing
while
pulling
off
stunts.
Just
like
her
character;
she
is
equally
fearless
in
real
life
and
looks
very
convincing
on
screen.
She
was
even
comfortable
handling
guns,
which
I
have
not
seen
in
many
actors.
She
will
easily
be
one
of
the
hottest
action
babes
in
Bollywood,"
he
added.
Race
2
which
is
the
sequel
to
2008
hit
film
Race,

stars
Saif
Ali
Khan,
John
Abraham,
Jacqueline
Fernandez,
Anil
Kapoor
and

Patel.
