Priyanka inspiring, not intimidating

Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor says actress Priyanka Chopra is inspiring and not intimidating to work with.

The 28-year-old actor is gearing up for the release of his film 'Gunday', which also stars Ranveer Singh and Priyanka. The movie directed by Ali Abbas Zafar is slated to hit cinemas on February 14. "Rather than being intimidating, she is inspiring as her body of work speaks for itself.

In other films, actors might be intimidated by her but looking at the kind of work she has done, you would become her fan," Arjun told reporters here today. "She gives one respect and she never makes you feel like you have done one-two-four number of films.

If you combine mine and Ranveer's quota of work with Ali's, that is her yearly quota of work. She does not let that come in her way and that's the nicest part about her," he added.
'Gunday' is a story about two mafia men - Bala and Bikram - played by Arjun and Ranveer with Priyanka playing the role of a glamorous cabaret dancer. Arjun prepared for the running sequences in the film by practising on the treadmill. "I had to learn how to run properly, without looking like I am running out of breath. I wanted to look nice running.

It's an art, looking good when the camera is shooting at a thousand frames per second," he said. "I used to practise on the treadmill while listening to 'Deva Shree Ganesha'," he added. Produced by Yash Raj Films, 'Gunday' will also be released simultaneously in Bengali with full Bengali songs composed by Bappi Lahiri.

I don't follow rules, I make my own: Priyanka

With her Bollywood movies and a budding international music career, Priyanka Chopra is into many places all at once but the actress says she has no plans to slowdown anytime soon.

Priyanka is in the middle of promoting her first release of the year 'Gunday', begins shooting the next schedule of 'Mary Kom' soon and plans to bring out her next single by April this year. She says she loves juggling different things and playing difficult roles.

"I guess it is a bit of conscious thing because I get bored doing the same thing. In my films too, my characters are always different looking be it 'Agneepath', 'Barfi!' or in 'Gunday'. I enjoy versatility and variety. I am not like others... I don't follow rules and paths.
I make my own rules," Priyanka told PTI in an interview. The 31-year-old former Miss World, who has been working since she was 17, jokes that unless someone handcuffs her and makes her stop, she would not be able to slowdown her breakneck speed. "I had a 200 crore release last year in 'Krrish 3' and the year before I had 'Barfi!' and 'Agneepath'. I think the last two years have been amazing for me. I had my singles.

'Exotic' won triple platinum in India. I feel my pace is absolutely fine. I think I need to increase it," she said. She is the object of affection to two of her leading stars Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor in Ali Abbas Zafar directed 'Gunday' that hits the screens this Valentine's Day. Priyanka plays the role of Nandita, a cabaret dancer in the Kolkata of '70s in the Yash Raj film which is set in the world of coal mafia.
"I enjoyed doing the film. It was tremendously satisfying to have so many shades in a character but it was difficult also because there is so much going on in the movie. She is very pivotal to the story as all the conflict happens because of Nandita. You don't know whose side to take," she said.

What is too hot for the hottie Priyanka Chopra?

Looks like there is something so scorching that even the scorching Priyanka Chopra can’t handle it. While shooting for Yash Raj Film’s Gunday in Oman, Priyanka Chopra suffered from a severe heat rash.
“The scorching temperature in Oman and the sandstorms affected my skin and I ended up with rashes,” said Piggy Chops. But she didn’t stop the shoot. “As they say, the show must go on and I decided to complete the shooting before seeking medication,” she added.
Last year, while shooting for the Mary Kom biopic in Manali, a bug bit her and she developed a rash. She got really paranoid about the bugs and called off the Manali shoot; which was eventually shot at a studio in Mumbai. Looks like she’s learnt to be a bit more professional.
It was probably a relief to the makers of Gunday when she told them she would finish the shoot.

His film Satta, starring Raveena Tandon, revolved around a woman who hates politics but joins it eventually. however, remained unavailable for comment.

Priyanka Chopra says I can romance anybody

 
 
Actress Priyanka Chopra says she can romance anybody in her films, so why just talk about megastar Shah Rukh Khan.

Priyanka has delivered two hit films 'Don' and 'Don 2' with SRK.

When asked if she and Shah Rukh would make better co-hosts as far as romance and comedy on the stage is concerned, Priyanka said, "I can romance anybody, why just him... That is my job."

Priyanka arrived late for the Filmfare awards press conference, which was scheduled to begin from 7.30 pm but it

started after 9 PM as the actress was held up in traffic.

"I used to come late earlier also, it is not something that is dependent on my mood. I was shooting and then got stuck in traffic... Sorry for being late. I broke my new year resolution of not coming late because of work and traffic."

The actress will be hosting 59th edition of Filmfare awards with Ranbir Kapoor and is nervous about it.

"This is for the first time that I will be co-hosting the awards, I am very nervous. It's scary and exciting... But if you don't do tough things in life then there is no fun," Priyanka said.

In the past, Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan have hosted the award show.

"Shah Rukh, Saif, Ranbir, Imran, so many people have hosted the show and they have always set the standard. So, it becomes little scary and there is a pressure. Logically, the

pressure applies on Ranbir. But I have been working very hard to make sure it will be lot of fun," she said.

Priyanka said if she had an option of co-hosting the award show with an actress, it would be Vidya Balan. "I think she (Vidya) is spontaneous and she is lot of fun," Priyanka addedAccording to her, actress Deepika Padukone has given the best performance as an actress last year.
