Shot in the dark: This actress feels she was sidelined in her film

This actress has been complaining about not getting enough publicity in her latest film's promotions

She is counted among the leading names in the industry, but clearly, she wants more. This actress, whose recently released film has not helped her earn good reviews, was heard complaining about how she felt sidelined during the film's promotions. A source says,

"This actress was heard telling her close friends that she lacks the marketing skills to promote herself aggressively. She has been part of many multi-starrers in the past and even then she would feel that she was losing out on well-deserved publicity. This time around, she felt that her co-stars had gone out of their way to promote their film while she joined its promotions a little later.


She feels that the rest of the cast stole the limelight away from her." The source adds that in a bid to stem this problem, she reached out to more people on her own. "She went ahead and arranged her own interactions with help from her crew where she spoke about her other projects, apart from this recent film. This is not the first time she has done something like this; in fact, she was upset with the producers of one of her two-heroine projects last year and she showed her displeasure then by skipping some of the promotional events," says the source.

LOL I was rolling my eyes while reading this... looks like she's not all that secure. Her PR at work.Isnt the pic above the BI exatic? 😛 Nothing blind in that.



Priyanka Chopra, who played Nandita " a Calcutta-based cabaret dancer from the 80's " in 'Gunday', has been applauded for her finely-nuanced performance in the film. She has set a new barometer for oomph on screen. And she has yet again consolidated her position as a powerhouse performer, tackling the various layers of her character Nandita. No wonder then that she's been flooded with praise from the industry. Her ability to stand out despite an ensemble star cast has brought her accolades.

Says her co-actor Arjun Kapoor, "Priyanka has been cast very aptly. I don't know how to explain this, but both of us, Ranveer Singh and I, were boys without her. We became men when we shared screen space with her. That's a very important quality for a woman to have " she makes us feel like men."

She is one of the few actresses to have achieved success in both critical and commercial space. On one hand, her films like 'Don 2', 'Agneepath', 'Barfi' and 'Krissh 3' entered the '100-crore club. And, on the other, she earned critical acclaim for movies like 'Kaminey', '7 Khoon Maaf', 'Barfi' and 'Fashion', for which she won a National Award as well.

Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar says, "She is a director's actor. She asks the right questions on the set, operates with clarity and treats the film as more important than herself. This is what sets her apart." PC's next, Mary Kom, is keenly awaited. A trade source explains, "Considering the business four of her films have done in the last two years, she is one of the most commercially reliable stars in Bollywood." On her part, the actress maintains, "I love what I do and am very thankful to be given the opportunity to be a part of all kinds of cinema."

Priyanka was recently conferred the title of 'The Actress of the Decade', at the India Leadership Conclave and Indian Affairs Business Leadership Awards 2013. She was also adjudged India's Most Powerful Celebrity - Female, by Femina magazine, courtesy the fact that she grabs eyeballs in every avatar she dons.

Apart from being the National Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF, the actress joined the likes of Michael Jordan, U2 front man Bono, football star Zinedine Zidane and tennis veteran Rafael Nadal as a face of UNICEF's My World Campaign " the first United Nations global survey for a better world. She is also a Champion for the UN Girl Up Foundation.

Didn't she know the film was about the guys when she read the script? 😕
And plus I think she left her mark in Gunday unlike K3. So what's all the fuss about?
