Priyanka v/s Priyanka this June

It has been more than a year since Priyanka Chopra had a major release to her name. SALAAM E ISHQ had released way back in January 2007 while Guddy Dhanoa’s BIG BROTHER (starring Sunny Deol) which came a few months later was a delayed project where one hardly saw Priyanka.

Ever since then Priyanka has been lying low with only a special appearance in the item number ‘Deewangi Deewangi’ for Farah Khan’s OM SHANTI OM. In the meanwhile she went on to sign some exciting projects but it would be only in the month of June when one would see her returning to the big screen in a big way.

Incidentally both these films are delayed projects as well though not of the quantum of BIG BROTHER. LOVE STORY 2050 and GOD TUSSI GREAT HO are the two films in question, which are now aiming for a June release. Incidentally LOVE STORY 2050 was supposed to be a late 2007 release while GOD TUSSI GREAT HO has been in limbo ever since one can remember. Continue reading ‘Priyanka v/s Priyanka this June’
