"Deepika Padukone has said that she is not concerned about Cocktail&amp;#039;s box office results.  Directed by Homi Adjania, the film, which also stars Saif Ali Khan and debutante Diana Penty, has been described as a story of friendship, love and loyalty.  Speaking to PTI Padukone said: &amp;quot;This film is very special to me. Personally it has been a journey for me as an actor as I have invested in this film physically, mentally and emotionally.  &amp;quot;I want people to enjoy and feel for the film as I do. I am not concerned about box office, I don&amp;#039;t care how much money it earns. For me, money does not matter. I want people to enjoy the film. Critics and people enjoy it, in that case if the film earns money then that&amp;#039;s good,&amp;quot; she said.       The Race 2 actress was offered both the roles of Meera and Veronica, eventually choosing to play the latter. Speaking to Digital Spy, Saif Ali Khan described Veronica as &amp;quot;the wildest character you&amp;#039;ve seen in Indian cinema&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;This role was most challenging as I have come out of my comfort zone,&amp;quot; explained Padukone. &amp;quot;I have taken a risk.  &amp;quot;When [producer] Dinesh Vijan asked me to pick up a role out of the two - Meera or Veronica - I thought I have already done something like Meera in Love Aaj Kal, so why to repeat same thing, hence I chose Veronica. Veronica is new and challenging,&amp;quot; she said. Cocktail releases on Friday (July 13). "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
