Earlier during an interaction, when the director of Cocktail, Homi Adajania was asked about casting Deepika, he had said, "Deepika came with a bunch of not-so-successful films behind her. So she was hungry to break the mould. At our first meeting, I told her, ‘Let’s forget your pretty face…I want people to leave the theatre knowing that Deepika Padukone is a reliable actor."
He also said, "Making her Veronica, a free-spirited party girl was my biggest challenge. She was my favourite character in the film."
