I Play This Wannabe, Item Girl: Priyanka
By Subhash K Jha
Mumbai, Jan 5
Those who have seen her playing a smoldering diva in "Aitraaz" and
"Don" would be pretty surprised by Priyanka Chopra's funny act as a
wannabe desperately chasing success in "Salaam-e-Ishq".
"I play this wannabe, an item girl, who just wants to become
successful so desperately. My character is a funny, sassy, saucy
screwball. And yes, I had loads of fun doing the role. It's an
ensemble cast. But I'd like to believe my track with Salman Khan is
special," Priyanka told IANS.
Ohter than Priyanka-Salman, five more couples -- John Abraham-Vidya
Balan, Anil Kapoor-Juhi Chawla, Akshaye Khanna-Ayesha Takia, Sohail
Khan-Esha Deol and Govinda-Shannon Esrechowitz -- feature in Nikhil
Advani's second film.
Priyanka teams up with Salman once again in her other early 2007
release "God, Tussi Great Ho".
"It is another comedy. And yes, Amitabh Bachchan plays god! I guess
it's time for me to let my hair down and enjoy myself. It's writer
Rumi Jaffrey's debut film as a director."
Two forthcoming films with Salman, and rumors of a serious rift
between the two persist. The grapevine is abuzz that Salman insisted
on Katrina Kaif instead of Priyanka for Raj Kumar Santoshi's "London
Dreams".
"What bunk!" Priyanka howls. "I couldn't do 'London Dreams' only
because of date problem. Salman and I get along well enough. You've
to see our on-screen chemistry in 'Salaam-e-Ishq' and 'God, Tussi
Great Ho'."
People are whispering about her off-screen chemistry with the new
kid on the block, Harman Baweja, especially, since she stepped in as
a last-minute replacement for Kareena Kapoor in his debut film "Love
Story 2050".
"The only reason I did 'Love Story 2050' was my role. I get to do my
first double role. And the two characters, specially the second one
will make people sit up and notice.
"If styling is essential to the characterizations, then 'Love Story
2050' has got the formula right. As for stepping into the film so
late, I'd always stand by a friend. Why only Harman, I'd bail out
any of my friends on a crisis. Just try me."
