Director advised hot heroine to smoke

All over India, the buzz word for time being is ‘Dum Maro Dum.’ The sleek flick is getting ready for release and every minute aspect of this film is becoming a sensation. Thanks to the enormous attention grabbing power of its star cast. Best among this lot would be Deepika Padukone’s item song or title song.

Director of the film Rohan Sippy advised Deepika to smoke cigarettes before starting the shooting for ‘Dum Maaro Dum’ song to get into the mood. But the darling lady flatly refused feeling that it wasn’t necessary to light up to get into the groove of dance number. Even Deepika feels that smoking is injurious to health and a very bad habit. Being an actor, she was comfortable of performing any kind of mood. Director confirms this, ‘It is true that I had advised her to smoke but she told me that she just won’t do it. We understood her logic and did not push her.’
