After making a dream debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Om Shanti Om’, trying her hands at romantic comedy (‘Bacha Ae Haseeno’) and action flick (‘Chandni Chowk To China’), Deepika will now be seen in comic roles in ‘Karthik Calling Karthik’ and ‘Housefull.’It was reported that the actress has already wrapped up the shoot schedule of ‘Karthik Calling Karthik’ and is busy shooting for Sajid Khan’s ‘Housefull.’

‘Housefull’ is an out-and-out comedy that features Lara Dutta and Akshay Kumar – a pair perfect at comedy. When enquired whether the actress was edgy before trying comedy, Deepika told a news daily, "I was lost. But Sajid does one very good thing. He acts out every scene. I find it easy to follow what he wants. I`m learning fast. I`ve realised that comedy is the hardest thing to do. And all these actors are so good at it. Akshay has worked with the best comic directors. I`m learning comic timing watching him."

The doe-eyed actress added, "I`m very comfortable working with Akshay. I was looking forward to doing comedy. It took me a while to get a hang of it. Now I`m having a ball doing comedy for the first time. "

When enquired about the experience of working with Farhan, the actress maintained, "Since I`d already met him on his chat show ‘Oye! It`s Friday,’ we got along on the set immediately. Farhan makes people around him comfortable. Maybe it was because he`s been there done it all - acting, directing, producing. He made me very comfortable. When Kartik started and got over, I didn`t even realize. It was so much fun."
