Deepika Padukone says "Love Aaj Kal" is as special as 'Om Shanti Om'!

Bollywood actress 'Deepika Padukone' says After "Om Shanti Om" if there is a film that has been really special for me , then it has to be "Love Aaj Kal". The actress said "I'm aware of the huge expectations that audiences have from the movie. Personally speaking about it, the film is beyond expectations for me. I would rather call it a very special film".

Talking about this movie she says "I can state three reasons why 'Love Aaj Kal' really fascinates me".

"First, the film's storyline is such that any common man can relate to it. It's so real and, as you watch the film, you would feel that so many instances shown in it have happened to you too in real life".

" Second, the film has a universal appeal. Whether it's the younger or the older generation, all will be able to identify with the proceedings. Imtiaz has a knack for keeping things basic and very simple, something that the world saw in 'Jab We Met' and 'Socha Na Tha'. His trademark touch is prevalent in 'Love Aaj Kal' too."

"The third reason for her to be really ecstatic after shooting for 'Love Aaj Kal' is the dialogues that promise to be as natural as they get". And They are such that they are more of conversational variety rather than sounding scripted. Imtiaz wanted all of us to perform rather than plain and simply mug up our dialogues and rattle them down. Yes, there was a dialogue sheet given, but it was mainly for reference.

She added "It was this freedom factor that really impressed me. There was nothing cast on stone and we actors were given a free hand to mouth dialogues that came naturally to them and suited the film's situation most. I guess this was one aspect that really made me open up a lot more during the film's shoot".
