Ranbir shows some ice-skating skills

It was meant to be Priyanka Chopra and Ranbir Kapoor ice-skating together at Central Park in New York for Anjaana Anjaani... the first film couple since John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale in 2001's 'Serendipity' to be captured on camera gliding on ice at that location.

Priyanka had to return to India for four days to promote her new film 'Pyaar Impossible'. The ice rink was left clear for Ranbir Kapoor, who for three consecutive nights on January 4, 5 and 6, skated non-stop all night in Central Park. Ranbir spent all of the New Year weekend in New York learning how to skate.

Producer Sajid Nadiadwala said that Ranbir's dedication to get it absolutely right just took their breath away. He had to skate alone because Priyanka had to return to Mumbai. He skated for three nights from 11 pm to 4 am in minus 6 degrees in Central Park. It was important to can all the footage in those three nights.

He also said that they were the first film unit since 'Serendipity' to get permission to shoot in Central Park's ice-skating rink. He said that they underestimated Ranbir's passion for excellence. Ranbir skated non-stop all night for three nights. And after the night shoots, he also shot during the day for other scenes." It was only after those three grueling nights that Ranbir finally hit the bed with utter exhaustion. He's gradually recovering from the marathon ice-sport. The footage captured has Ranbir ice-skating.

Apparently Priyanka had a sneak peek at the footage of Ranbir iceskating and has expressed a desire to do some of it herself. In the film, they don't just play a combative couple; they're also ruthlessly competitive while shooting. From New York, Anjaana Anjaani now moves to Las Vegas where Ranbir and Priyanka intend to outgamble one another.
