Deepika in Chandni Chowk to China

For all those Deepika Padukone fans out there, the promo of Chandni Chowk to China is on, and she is looks stunning as ever. Her new Chinese look is well received and her double role in the movie has become the talk of the town.

Speaking about her dual character, Deepika says, "It's actually a double role and no publicity gimmick. I play two different characters in Chandni Chowk to China, one is an Indian called Sukhi, and the other is a Chinese girl, Meow Meow. The Chinese character is a pro at martial arts for which I had to undergo four months of rigorous training before the film started."

To get the authentic the Chinese look, it was at first suggested that she should use adhesive tapes, but when the harmful effect of that was known, the idea was dropped. "My makeup artist came up with a simpler solution and used the eyeliner in such a way that it gave my eyes the Chinese tweak," she laughed.

Directed by Nikhil Advani, Chandni Chowk to China stars Akshay Kumar and Deepika Padukone in the lead roles. Bollywood veteran Mithun Chakraborty and Hong Kong veteran Gordon Liu have played major roles in the movie.

The film is slated for release on 16th January 2009.
