The actress who has been busy promoting boyfriend Harman Baweja’s futuristic flick Love Story 2050, Priyanka Chopra has confirmed news about her pregnancy. Before you rush to a conclusion, this has nothing to do with her real-life. When Priyanka told us the news, she was referring to her on-screen character in Madhur Bhandarkar’s Fashion.

Priyanka who plays the role of a hi-profile model in the film will be seen getting pregnant only towards the climax of the film. So for all those fans who thought that they will get a chance to see Piggy Chops sporting a bloated tummy, sorry to disappoint but that’s not happening as yet. But the good news is that since Priyanka is absolutely confident about stepping into a pregnant woman’s shoes (she readily agreed for the addition that was nowhere mentioned in the script) and with so many unconventional roles coming her way, we may soon get to see a pregnant Priyanka, a la Preity Zinta Style.

“It has taken a lot of effort from Priyanka to sort things out with Salman. He can be quite bad when you rub him the wrong way too many times. After a lot of tears and explaining she has managed to get on Salman’s good side.

So when she heard that the hunt was on for an actress to play the lead opposite him she made sure that his people knew that her diary was wide open,” says an industry insider, “This was her way of just reiterating the fact that when she had turned down Mr. & Mrs. Khanna earlier it was genuinely because of dates and nothing else!”

He adds that Priyanka did speak to Salman after the two patched up. “When she agreed to do a cameo in Mr. & Mrs. Khanna (the film she previously turned down) she managed to get back into Salman’s good books. And soon thereafter news of Veer going on the floors soon also was out and Priyanka made sure that she let Sallu know that she would be more than happy to work with him.” Continue reading ‘Priyanka to do Salman Khan’sVeer’

Future calling for Priyanka

The sexy Priyanka Chopra is all set to travel to the future in Love Story 2050. It will be a dream project for her as she will be seen opposite her real life boyfriend Hrman Baweja. Here is what the glamorous girl had to say about the film, Harman and more.

What was the experience of living life in the year 2050?
It was great. Even the thought of living in 2050 is very exciting and makes your imagination go wild. We have been working on the film since the past two years. The film is very special. A lot of hard work has gone in making the film. It feels good to know that people have liked the promos of the film. This is just the beginning. A lot more can be expected.

Now it can be told! Everyone knows that Fardeen Khan was initially supposed to enact the role that has been portrayed brilliantly by Akshaye Khanna in Race. Also, Mallika Sherawat was the first choice for the role of Mini [eventually portrayed by Sameera Reddy], the dumb associate of the investigating officer. Not many know that the casting underwent many changes before it finally went to the actors we see on screen today.

To start with, when Fardeen Khan opted out of the project [the dates were clashing with Heyy Babyy], the makers approached John Abraham for the part. John heard the script, but declined the offer because he didn’t want to portray a negative role [didn't he win accolades in Dhoom?]. The role went to Akshaye Khanna.

Before Bipasha Basu came into the picture, the role was initially offered to Priyanka Chopra. She too, like John, didn’t like the idea of playing a negative role interesting [although she won tremendous praise for her part in Abbas-Mustan's Aitraaz]. Bipasha was the next choice and when she heard the script, it was a ‘Yes’ instantly. Continue reading ‘Why John and Priyanka said no to Race’

If you thought that the summer is at its peak now, then better think again. Because we bet that you just have seen nothing at all. The reason being that the actual heat will be felt with the release of the Harman-Priyanka starrer Love Story 2050 , as this time round, it will not be one, but two Priyankas who will be doing the honors. In other words, Priyanka will be seen in a double role in this film.

Priyanka, who is tad excited about her character in the film, said that both her characters are contrast of each other. While one belongs to the present, the other one belongs to the future. Her first character is that of a smooth, coy and a girl next door kind of role, the other is that of an outlandish, loud and headstrong girl, very much unlike the first one.

Filmamker Harry Baweja along with Bollywood beauty Priyanka Chopra showcased the 3-minute trailer at an exclusive preview screening at PVR Juhu along with the release of the first look of the film. Mike Rann, Premiere, South Australia was among those present.

Venue: PVR, Juhu, Mumbai, Wednesday

Present: Priyanka Chopra, Harry Baweja, Javed Akhtar, Manmohan Shetty, E. Niwas, Manish Malhotra, Premiere Mike Rann and others.

The first look of the much awaited film Love Story 2050, starring real life couple Priyanka Chopra and boyfreind Harman Baweja, was unveiled in Mumbai.

But Harman was nowhere to be seen at the event, and as expected Priyanka did all the talking. So, isn’t it special when real life couple romances on reel life too?

“I would say that the reason for this film being special is the fact that there is lot of hard work that has gone into the film. A lot of effort, lot of money and time has been spent, so it’s special,” Priyanka said. Continue reading ‘Love missing from Priyanka’s Love Story?’

Priyanka Chopra attended a press event to release the promos of her forthcoming film Love Story 2050 at PVR Juhu in Mumbai, Wednesday evening, March 19. Missing from the event was her boyfriend and debutant co-star Harman Baweja and we have the secret why…

An insider from the film unit tells us that film director Harry Baweja, who is also the father of Harman, wants to minimize his son’s public exposure before the release of the film, just as Saawariya director Sanjay Leela Bhansali did with Sonam and Ranbir. The idea is to create as much of a buzz around Harman as for the VFX heavy Sci Fi film.
Priyanka wore a sleeveless sheath dress in silver metallic flower print. The dress had a banded empire waist, a revealing V neckline in the front and a deep V neck at the back, ending with an oversized bow detail.

Farhan Akhtar has made another addition to the cast of his next film Voices From The Sky .
Just recently Farhan had confirmed Saif Ali Khan for the film which is based on an unusual subject – the evolution of the telecommunication system. Now, the young director says he has finalized Priyanka Chopra as the film’s leading lady.

Interestingly, neither Saif nor Priyanka are the film’s main protagonist. The central character instead would be a child. The movie tells the story of a little boy. Saif and Priyanka play the characters who touch the little kid’s life in different ways.

Farhan has worked with both Saif and Priyanka in the past. He cast Saif as an under-confident, out-of-love guy in his directorial debut Dil Chahta Hai . And his last flick Don had Priyanka Chopra playing the role of a spunky woman. Continue reading ‘Priyanka Chopra To Be Saif’s Leading Lady’

Priyanka Chopra’s dream home is ready and the actress is delighted. But she hasn’t moved in yet and will do so when she has the time to do it up herself.

“I’ll have my house-warming party and move to my new place only when I return from Miami in July. My parents have shifted though, leaving me by myself in our old place,” she grumbled good-naturedly.

“Last week my parents had a house-warming party for their friends. Since I had no time, I refrained from inviting any of my friends. Isn’t that sad? We had to postpone our shift several times. We were supposed to move in last Diwali, but the interiors had to be completed,” the actress told IANS. Continue reading ‘Priyanka Chopra needs time to move into dream home’
