Ram's Leela is serving her heady cocktail in a desi container, come November. Deepika Padukone packs a punch, not with her fist, but with her performances. She went all out in her recent releases, be it Cocktail, Race 3, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani or Chennai Express. Her Ram Leela co-star Ranveer Singh also agrees that she is uninhibited when it comes to her roles.

In Cocktail and Race 3, she romanced Saif Ali Khan, showcasing a fiery party girl. The spunky actress then moved from cocktails to sober girl roles with Ranbir Kapoor and Shah Rukh Khan. All four films are huge hits, particularly Chennai Express. Next up is Sanjay Leela Bhasali's Ram Leela. Deepika dons a colorful Ghagra and Choli, lustily romancing Ranveer like there is no tomorrow.

She will not stop there. In December, she will don more jewelery to play Rajinikanth's Kochadaiiyaan princess. From a party girl to desi princess, Deepika Padukone earned a very pretty spot at the top of the numbers game. She was recently considered to play Powerstar Pawan Kalyan's romantic interest in Gabbar Singh 2. Alas, her consecutive hits ensured remuneration raised along with the popularity.

Recently, she is also rumored to have declined a role opposite Shahid Kapoor for unknown reasons, leaving the actor dejected. If Hrithik Roshan's Krrish 3 is giving nightmares to Tollywood stars, Deepika is also emerging as a strong competitor. Nagarjuna preponed Bhai to avoid a clash with Krrish 3 this Diwali. Right after Hrithik hits the screens, Deepika is coming dancing along. From passionate kisses to intense expressions, Deepika Padukone's Ram Leela act is quite a head turner.
