Deepika was offered to be a part of &#39;Fast and Furious 7&#39; movie, but she could not do it because of her commitments to the makers of &#39;Ram Leela&#39;. &quot;I don&#39;t regret it. I had to work out things for &#39;Ram Leela&#39; here, I couldn&#39;t have left the process mid way, I had given my commitment here first.u00a0 <img alt="Deepika Padukone" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/sep/Deepika-Padukone_2.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 641px;" /> Looking at the way the film (&#39;Ram Leela&#39;) has got response, I feel good as my hard work has paid off,&quot; Deepika told PTI in an interview here. Though the actress could not make her entry into Hollywood, she is still open to doing films whenever the right offer comes up. &quot;I would love to do a Hollywood film. The reason for me to do a Hollywood film is same as what I do here in Bollywood,&quot; she said. When asked if she would be ok doing a small role in a Hollywood film, Deepika said, &quot;There is nothing like a small role. The role has to be of impact, this is what matters, the length of it (role) doesn&#39;t. A good actor can make a presence felt even in a short time.&quot; Deepika is basking in the success of her fourth consecutive hit this year - &#39;Ram Leela&#39; - after &#39;Race 2&#39;, &#39;Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani&#39; and &#39;Chennai Express&#39;. &quot;It feels nice that all my films that released this year did really well. I have worked hard on all my films and it feels great when the films become successful and you get appreciation for your work,&quot; she said. &quot;But if I had my way, I would have not let them release so close to each other, I would have spaced them out,&quot; she pointed out. Deepika is touted as the Rs 600 crore heroine, going by the total collections of all the four films that released this year. &#39;Ram Leela&#39; and &#39;Race 2&#39; approximately earned Rs 100 crore each, &#39;Chennai Express&#39; grossed Rs 226 crore and &#39;Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani&#39; made Rs 189 crore at the box office. &quot;I value money as well as critical appreciation. I like to do films that have repeat value,&quot; she said. She would be seen next in Farah Khan&#39;s &#39;Happy New Year&#39; and Homi Adjania&#39;s &#39;Finding Fanny Fernandes&#39;. In &#39;Happy New Year&#39;, she will be teaming up with superstar Shah Rukh Khan for the third time. &quot;I owe everything to Farah Khan and Shah Rukh Khan as they were the ones who launched me in films with &#39;Om Shanti Om&#39;. My equation with them has not changed. Farah and Shah Rukh both are still protective about me. There are times when I am scared of Farah,&quot; Deepika said. The film also stars Abhishek Bachchan, Boman Irani, Sonu Sood, Vivaan Shah and others. &quot;It is so much fun doing the film as I am the only girl among the five guys. I don&#39;t feel I am shooting,&quot; Deepika said. For &#39;Finding Fanny...&#39;, Deepika is excited to team up again with noted actress Dimple Kapadia. She first worked with her in &#39;Cocktail&#39;. &quot;I used to stare at her. Today also she looks legant...graceful. She creates a positive aura and I am extremely fond of her,&quot; she added. &#39;Finding Fanny...&#39; is an English-Konkani short film, directed by Homi Adajania. It also stars Arjun Kapoor, Naseeruddin Shah, Pankaj Kapur in prominent roles. Both the films will release next year.u00a0
