Deepika, 29, who boarded the Suvidha Express from Mumbai Central railway station yesterday, said love for food and travel was a common factor that bound her with Ranbir and the Highway filmmaker.

“Train journeys are very romantic. I think we all have travelled by train individually. And travelling by train, choice of food and restaurants are the things the three of us have in common. We are always talking about new places and travelling,” Deepika said.

“We know travel is a very important part of Imtiaz’s life and in the movies that he makes. I am happy that the media could share this experience with the three of us. The idea was to have fun,” she added.

Ranbir, who credited Deepika with the idea, said he enjoyed this ‘new and unique way’ of promoting the film.

“When the idea was proposed, we all jumped at it. When you market a film, there is a set pattern. But usually with Imtiaz he likes to break those patterns. In Rockstar, we travelled in a bus and the media jumped at that. It’s a very interesting idea,” he said.

Tamasha opens this Friday.

Starring Ranveer Singh as the Maratha leader Peshwa Bajirao, Deepika Padukone as his warrior queen Mastani and Priyanka Chopra as his first wife Kashibai, everything about the film is on a scale vast and grand, the hallmark of a Bhansali-made movie.

The two-and-a-half minute teaser is shorn of dialogues (except briefly in the end) but it’s packed to the brim with scenes of battle starring Ranveer and Deepika, who wields her bow and arrow just as masterfully as Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games. Priyanka provides a glimpse of what happens off the battlefield.

While the film is a saga about the romance between the Peshwa general and his second wife Mastani, the trailer presents zilch glimpses of the love story, except at the very end with the pronouncement: “Bajirao ne Mastani se mohabbat ki hai ayashi nahi” (delivered by Ranveer).

Bajirao Mastani is slated to release on December 18, along with Rohit Shetty’s Dilwale starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon.

Along with her younger sister Anisha, Deepika threw a lavish party at an upscale hotel in Bangalore. In attendance were the Padukones’ friends and acquaintances. From among the photos doing the rounds of social networking sites, one could spot singer Prajakta Shukre, too, among the guests.

Once done with the celebrations, Ranveer flew back to the Malaysian capital for the IIFA awards. The actor is hosting the event along with Arjun Kapoor.

Show host Ranveer Singh, dressed in a Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna brocade suit, took over the green carpet and had his Dil Dhadakne Do co-star Farhan Akhtar and actor Hrithik Roshan dancing to his tune.

Anushka Sharma, who described her co-star’s fashion as ‘an act of bravery,’ dazzled in a scarlet outfit by Gauri and Nainika. The actress, who was nominated for PK, was nervous about her stage performance and said all she wanted was a break. It seemed the green carpet was the place for her to meet colleagues as she and her director Rajkumar Hirani said award functions were where they caught up.

Deepika Padukone, dressed in a red and black Sabyasachi sari, was the darling of the crowd. The actress said the adulation ‘overwhelmed her’ and though she was nominated for Happy New Year, the actress said the award was not for her since there were far better performances.

When asked about his flying visit to Bangalore, Ranveer avoided answering. Deepika described her friend and Bajirao Mastani co-star as ‘the most honest man,’ be it his style or his persona.

Shahid Kapoor, happy about his Best Actor Award for Haider, denied rumors of a June 10 wedding. The actor said, “Congratulate me the day I get married.”

Sonakshi Sinha, who made her singing debut at the IIFA Awards, paid a tribute to the leading men of Bollywood in her trademark dubsmash-style as she performed to songs like Jumma Chumma. Shraddha Kapoor paid a tribute to showman Subhash Ghai’s hits, saying it was a ‘dream come true’ since as a child she would perform ton from his film Taal. Mr Ghai received the Lifetime Achievement award this year.

Show hosts Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor held their own, though we can say we missed the original ‘Mental Boys’ Farhan Akhtar and Shahid Kapoor too.
