Deepika Padukone: 'I want to do my own stunts'

Deepika Padukone has revealed that she wants to make action films in the future.

The actress's last action movie was the international production Chandi Chowk to China, co-starring Akshay Kumar.

Padukone told DNA India: "Action is a genre that I'm yet to tap fully. It would be pretty thrilling to be able to do pull off some stunts on my own, so I wish I could do an out and out action film.

"I've always been into sports, so it's not like I can't take on physically strenuous activities on screen. I think more than anything, it would be a fun challenge for me."

Padukone added: "It's hard to say whether I prefer rom-coms over action or drama, I think each has it's own excitement."

She claimed this week that she had been forced to pull out of the action sequel Race 2 because of delays with the schedule.

However, director Ramesh Taurani accused her of dropping out of the movie in favour of starring in a Hollywood project.
