Farhan measured Deepika

Sharin Wader Butani, TNN 9 December 2009, 12:00am IST It's difficult to separate the director-producer and actor in Farhan Akhtar, for he's forever honing his acting skills, thinking of a marketing
strategy to promote his films or of different angles to make his stars look larger than life.

But today he's in a different mood. He keeps aside the Don 2 script he's been working on and gets talking about his hot co-star from Kartik Calling Kartik, Deepika Padukone. "There are no words to describe her beauty, she's extremely beautiful. Many will identify with me when I fall deeply in love with her in the film. In the hot quotient, she ranks among the top three actresses in Bollywood... need I say more," he asks.

Farhan feels that the two share a wonderful chemistry but he wanted to be doubly sure so he held a focus screening where he invited people from different age groups to come and watch it. "I called my driver's children and their friends, college students, housewives... and they felt the same," he says. Once on the show that he was hosting, Deepika had turned up as his guest, standing tall, towering over him. "In reality, we are of the same height. I actually measured her with a measuring tape," he laughs and adds, "she's got long legs, her pose and posture make her look tall... unfortunately, I have neither."

In all his films, Farhan has always given his actors a "hair-raising" experience, thanks to his wife, hairstylist Audhuna. Aamir had the spiked look in Dil Chahta Hai, Hrithik sported a crew cut in Lakshya while Preity Zinta went bob, Arjun Rampal had to grow his hair and Farhan himself was seen in a hairband in Rock On. And for KCK, Deepika had to chop off her hair. "I have a secret pact with Tirupathi Balaji, I cut their hair and send it there... but for Arjun in Rock On, we made hair extensions from the hair that we had cut during Dil Chahta Hai," he laughs. "My actors shouldn't look the same in my film the way they did in some other film. The audience should be able to see the character than the celebrity in them," says Farhan, who plays a lovable loser in KCK. "I can relate to the character because in the past, I have been one myself. Like the crush I had on this girl but never admitted for the fear of being rejected," says Farhan, who will be playing a full-fledged romantic hero in the film.

Farhan is an ace director himself.I am sure he liked the script and the directors confidence..So he decided to produceand act in it..
One thing about Farhan most people don't realise is that he is great in promoting his films.No body expected Don to beat Janeman(Akki and Sallu combined) hollow with the opening..
Rock On promotions should be a case study in how to promote films..
Farhan is da genius man,and I adore him.I hope after KCK,Zoya's film also releases next year😍

OK so Deepika's hair has been touched up in the picture.It is not so long in the film.
The left side where her hair is cascading over her shoulder is morphed..you can see the verticle joint to the right and texture doesn't match the right side..The hair behind her ear is also painted on too....
The poor girl has been sporting the mousy look for almost a year..
I hope it has all been worth it..after all how different can a haircut be🤔
I think the hair sits close to her skull ..with the hair slightly long at the nape of her neck...many oriental girls have that cut..in many pics her hair seems to be sort of bulging at the back of her head,I think they have layered it from inside to give it volume...

The first look looks great👍🏼!

I am expecting a lot from this film.Farhan has a good ear for music,I hope he has something special for us.


Yes ,Deepika's hair cut is still not revealed.I think it is really short with lot of layers around the face,which she tries to hide by pinning her hair back..

Why is this forum so biased about men's looks? They think people like Shahrukh Khan and Prabhas are sexy. What about Farhan Akhtar? He looks...
