Apart from SRK and John’s action scenes, Deepika is also winning hearts for her tough avatar in the movie. Hailing her moves in the film, SRK said, “Many people have seen it and voh trailer mein bhi hai, ek admi se lipatkar, ghoomakar, usko neeche girake, uspe chadkar usko maarti hai…mere saath aisa karle…itna pyaar hai uske andar…I’m toh jealous of that guy ki yaar itne kareeb se itni khoobsurati aur uske upper baitkar…main bolta ‘aur maar aur maar’ (Many people have seen it already and it’s also in the trailer where Deepika Padukone in the action scene, jumps onto someone, flips him, drops him to the floor and hits him, I wish she did that with me. I’m jealous of that guy for being so close to someone so beautiful. If it were me, I would have said “hit me more, hit me more (laughs)” He further added, “If I may say so, I think it’s one of the sexiest action scenes that I have seen.”
Previously, SRK had spoked in support of Deepika, while the actress faced flak for donning a saffron bikini in the song ‘Besharam Rang’. Praising his co-star, Shah Rukh had said, “You need someone of the stature of Deepika to be able to pull off a song sequence like Besharam Rang and then you know, to be able to do action, where she takes a guy and pulls him right over herself and beats him, she’s tough enough to do that too. That kind of a combination could have only been achieved with someone like Deepika. It’s quite a layered character for an action film heroine so to say.”
