A feat that the actress has accomplished with her 12 avatars in Ashutosh Gowariker's forthcoming film What's Your Rashee?
The producer has sent the actresses' name to be officially entered in the Guinness. "If this does happen, it will be phenomenal," said Priyanka excitedly. "I'm overjoyed and honoured to be a part of this record-breaking film."
Producer Sunita Gowariker, who's equally elated, revealed, "Priyanka has not only played 12 different roles, but breathed life into 12 distinct characters without the aide of any prosthetics. Few people realise how difficult a challenge it is. This we gauged when we spoke to the Guinness officials. No actor has ever played so many different roles in cinema of any language. So it truly is a world record."
The versatile Kamal Hassan played 10 roles in Dashavataram. He beat Sanjeev Kumar and Sivaji Ganeshan by one role as the two had done nine roles for Naya Din Nayi Raat and Navarathiri respectively. Internationally, too, not many actors have come close to achieving this.
Eddie Murphy played seven characters in The Nutty Professor, and he only upped it to eight in the sequel. Eric Idle is credited with having played seven in Monty Python and The Holy Grail (1975), while Alec Guinness played eight in Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949).
