Terming
Maduri
Dixit's
portrayal
of
Mohini
in
Tezaab
as
iconic,
Deepika
Padukone
has
called
on
people
not
to
compare
her
role
in
the
upcoming
film
Happy
New
Year
with
that
of
the
dancing
diva.
Deepika,
28,
plays
an
enthusiastic
dancer
Mohini
Joshi
in
the
musical
heist
film,
which
will
release
this
Diwali.
"Madhuri
Dixit's
character
is
an
iconic
one.
There
is
no
similarity
between
the
two
except
the
name.
So,
please
don't
compare
my
character
with
Maduri's
brilliant
portrayal
of
Mohini.
Both
the
characters
are
very
much
different
to
each
other," she
said
during
the
promotion
of
the
film
here.
In
the
film,
the
actress
would
be
seen
delivering
her
dialogues
in
an
interesting
mix
of
Marathi
and
Hindi.
"Being
living
in
Mumbai
for
seven
years,
it
gave
me
the
immense
opportunity
to
interact
with
Marathi
people.
Moreover,
my
mother
tongue
is
Konkani,
which
is
very
similar
to
Marathi.
It
was
not
a
tough
call
for
me
to
speak
in
that
dialect," she
said.
Having
touted
as
one
of
the
successful
actresses
in
the
industry
after
delivering
many
back-to-back
hits,
Deepika
is
confident
that
Happy
New
Year
will
also
have
the
same
fate
like
her
previous
hits.
"When
so
many
good
energies
connect
together,
I
feel
something
best
always
comes
out.
It's
one
of
the
right
kind
of
film
for
Diwali
as
it
will
fill
your
hearts
with
joy," she
said.
The
'Cocktail'
star
said
she
is
lucky
that
Farah
has
given
her
a
chance
again
to
be
a
part
of
her
film
after
giving
her
a
dream
start
in
2007
with
'Om
Shanti
Om'.
"When
Farah
gave
me
the
opportunity
to
be
a
part
of
her
last
release
('Om
Shanti
Om'),
I
was
extremely
raw
and
new.
The
only
thing
I
hope
that
I
am
able
to
make
her
feel
proud
with
my
performance," she
said.
