Hrithik and Priyanka in Krissh |
How was it working with Hrithik and Abhishek? "Abhishek and Hrithik are very different but very, very good actors. But Duggu (Hrithik) is also a spontaneous actor. Both of them are very focused on their roles. I just saw the rushes of Krissh. It's looking terrific. Krissh is a very emotional movie"
Look look look
I play a cool character. I play a girl who goes through a great journey… I look very different in Krissh from my other films. I try and do different looks for each film. I chew my stylists' brains off. I think The look is important. I don't want to look like Priyanka Chopra in every film. One of the perks of being an actor is you can be different people all the time.."
Main hoon don
Excited about Don? "Yes, my role in this film is something I've never played before. I play a tough yet vulnerable character. Again I want to give Roma in Don a different look.
This will be shot in Malaysia. And it will be with Shah Rukh! You know, all my co-stars in 2006 except Salman will be first-timers for me… whether it's Akshaye Khanna, Hrithik Roshan, Shah Rukh Khan or Abhishek Bachchan… I've never worked with them before. To have such a variety of co-stars is such a blessing."
Nana aur khana
She chuckles at the memory of the pranks shared with Abhishek. "We decided to pull a prank regarding Nana Patekar whom we were all scared of. But one day Abhishek and I decided to make up this story and complain to Rohan that Nana had misbehaved with me. I went hysterically hammy.
Rohan was ready to speak to Nana when we all burst out laughing…Nana has such an aura of being private and inaccessible. But he's a warm soul. He used to bring food for all of us."
As for her director Priyanka speaks from the heart. "I came out of Bluff Master with great memories, great friend. All my friends are from the films I work in." "Otherwise," she groans dramatically. "I've no one to go out with. Come on, hook me up with someone."
