Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra in the race for the next Bond girl?
Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra, reports suggest, are vying for the role of the next Bond girl.
IndiaToday.in | Posted by Ananya Bhattacharya New Delhi, May 10, 2016 | UPDATED 17:29 IST A +A -Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra are both creating waves overseas. While Deepika has got the temperature soaring with XXX The Return Of Xander Cage, Priyanka has raised the bar by winning the villain's part in Baywatch. And even as we in India celebrate the Desi Girls' achievements abroad, the two are giving us new reasons to cheer for them with every passing day or so it seems.
If the latest reports from that part of the world are to be believed, Deepika and Priyanka are both supposedly being considered for the role of the next Bond girl. The last in the James Bond franchise, Spectre, hit the screens in 2015.
While the brains behind Bond are still trying to zero in on an apt replacement for Daniel Craig, seems like Deepika and Priyanka are both trying hard to land the dream role of the next Bond girl.
A source informed Deccan Chronicle, "Deepika is finishing the final leg of XXX - she had given them bulk dates for the film. And over the past 18 months, Priyanka Chopra has been shooting for Quantico, and only recently she started work on Baywatch too. Both the actors have very strong teams there who are deftly managing their work and have been pitching them to various Hollywood studios. And they have also made it clear to their respective agents that they are not interested in doing two-bit roles."
A few days ago, there were reports that Deepika had auditioned for a role in a reboot of Tom Cruise's The Mummy and had apparently been rejected by the makers. Huma Qureshi too had auditioned for the same role, reports pointed out.
The last 007 film, Spectre, had gifted viewers three Bond girls - Monica Bellucci, Lea Seydoux and Naomi Harris. Whether or not Priyanka and Deepika can make it to that envious league is yet to be seen. The two actors were last seen together on the silver screen in the Hindi film Bajiao Mastani.
