 Priyanka Chopra will play the lead in Jugal Hansraj's next starring Uday Chopra. A source close to the actress said, "This film will mark Priyanka's entry into the YRF banner. Priyanka's career is going great guns currently. Fashion has been declared a hit. Dostana has fetched her fabulous response. Top of the line banners are approaching her with substantial roles. She has already been part of production houses like Film Kraft and Dharma Productions. So being a part of YRF Films is the next obvious move. Priyanka feels that YRF film will only boost her career further."Jugal wanted an actress who is popular among the masses. "Besides Priyanka, Kareena and Deepika had been approached too. But Kareena and Deepika are committed to projects that are going to hit the floors next year while Jugal wanted an actress who could allot bulk dates to his film. He strictly wants to follow the YRF diktat of working and completing the film in one or two schedules. Also Jugal wanted an actress who has a mass appeal and can entice the audience," said our source. Our source added, "Priyanka is currently busy with Ashutosh Gowarikar's What's Your Rashee and Vishal Bharadwaj's Kaminay. She is being very particular about the films and the banners that she says yes to! YRF was an offer that she just could not turn down." Monica Bhattacharya, YRF spokesperson did not deny the story but said, "Nothing has been decided as yet!" Despite several messages, Priyanka remained unavailable for comment. Her spokesperson maintained, "I cannot say anything right now." Uday Chopra chose not to reply to our messages and phone calls. But we know, and we are delighted to announce it. |
