Kareena Kapoor agitates Priyanka Chopra?

There are no points for guessing that two of the contemporary actresses in Bollywood- Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor- don't really get along well. Latest buzz doing rounds is that preferential treatment given to Bebo at a recent awards ceremony miffed Pee Cee.

"Priyanka, who was supposed to dance to Yash Chopra's songs, had been practising hard since the afternoon. She had been sweating it out on the floor when, closer to the show time she noticed Kareena sailing in. This was her first public appearance post wedding, and Bebo simply breezed in and out without putting in even as much as a fraction of the effort or time that Priyanka had for the show. This irked PeeCee no end," an eye witness told Mumbai Mirror.

"She threw a fit behind closed doors, upset with the organisers with their preferential treatment. And though she was professional enough to go through the rest of the evening, she was visibly agitated. Her argument was, why would a star of her stature be expected to go through the grind of rehearsals when her contemporary is allowed to breeze in and out," the tabloid quoted another source as saying.

Bebo-PC war
Bebo had commented about Priyanka Chopra's accent on Karan Johar's chat show Koffee With Karan saying: "I wonder where Priyanka got her accent from?" Priyanka had responded saying: "I want to tell Kareena that I got my accent from the same place where her boyfriend got his," referring to Saif and her education overseas.

PC had also said, "I don't think people take Kareena too seriously." When she was asked what she would steal from computers of Bollywood superstars like Shah Rukh Khan, Shahid, Kareena and others, Priyanka giggled and asked, "Does Kareena have a computer in the first place?"

Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra are my seniors: Katrina Kaif

Mumbai: Katrina Kaif today is no longer just a pretty face. She has proved her acting calibre in Rajneeti and now, Ek Tha Tiger. With ETT crossing the 100 crore mark at the Box Office, Kat is now one of the most bankable stars in the industry. But, when compared with her contemporaries like Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra, Katrina feels that they are way too ahead of her.

Katrina Kaif has so far acted in male oriented movies, where the heroine's role comes second after the male lead. But, her contemporaries like Kareena, Priyanka and Vidya Balan, have already made a stable position in the industry by choosing women oriented scripts. Talking to a leading website about the same, Katrina said, "Kareena and Priyanka are senior to me. They are way ahead of me."

She further said that if a script excites her, she agrees to the deal. Talking about the 100 crore craze in the recent times, Katrina said, " I am happy to see the business of cinema flourishing, films minting money. Yes, hits are important but somewhere your work has to be liked also."

Salman Khan changes Priyanka's role in Zanjeer remake

Salman is no longer just the spin-doctor on his own projects. Known to be a very active and dominant force behind his projects, Salman has now taken charge of Ramcharan 's Bollywood debut.

Recently, Salman had a meeting at his residence with Ramcharan and the Zanjeer director Apoorva Lakhia where he suggested some radical changes in the Zanjeer Remake, including the way Priyanka Chopra's character was to be packaged and portrayed.

That Salman has taken Ramcharan under his wings is no longer a secret. But here's something that would serve as an eye opener as to how much Salman is investing into his new protégé from Hyderabad.

Last week, he invited Ramcharan and Zanjeer director Apoorva Lakhia to a very private dinner at his residence in Bandra to discuss ways to reinvent and contemporize Zanjeer. Salman whose father Salim Khan co-wrote the original Zanjeer, gave Ramcharan and Lakhia tips that are now being incorporated into the film.

Says a source close to the project, "Salman called Ramcharan and Apu home to discuss Zanjeer. He then began to astutely compare the new and old Zanjeer. The first suggestion that he made was to incorporate songs for Ramcharan's character. In the original, Inspector Vijay Khanna as played by Amitabh Bachchan was too serious a man to sing and dance. Salman wants that to change. He said to Ramcharan, 'You're one of the best dancers in Indian cinema. It would be silly to not have you sing and dance."

More importantly Salman made many important suggestions about Priyanka Chopra's character including how to bring in a much larger glamour quotient character.

Says a source, "Salman feels Priyanka's character can be a lot more attractive. He has suggested changes in her clothes, styling, songs and choreography. Since Priyanka doesn't start shooting for Zanjeer until October her character is being revamped as per Salman's suggestions."

Clearly then, Salman has never taken such a keen interest in any young actor's debut. Is it because Zanjeer was co-written by his father?

"Partly that. But it's more because of how protective he feels towards Ramcharan. The young Telugu superstar and his father the iconic Chiranjeevi are very dear to Salman. Salman feels Ramcharan's future in Bollywood is a personal resoponsibility," says a source very close to the neo-Zanjeer.

Priyanka replaces Kareena in Bhansali's next

A few days ago, Kareena Kapoor called Sanjay Leela Bhansali, “the truest successor to Raj Kapoor’s legacy.” Of course, Bebo was excited to work with Bhansali in his upcoming biggie, tentatively titled Ram Leela.

But now, in a major twist, the Heroine actor has been ousted from the film, and replaced with Priyanka Chopra. "We are not aware of the exact reasons why, but Priyanka has been roped in by Mr Bhansali. Although no one is ready to divulge details yet, Priyanka was confirmed for the role a couple of days back,” says an insider close to the project.

The film, which also stars Band Baaja Baraat (2010) actor Ranveer Singh, was initially supposed to go on the floors in July but now it’s believed to have been pushed back.

It seems that Kareena’s wedding to long-time beau Saif Ali Khan — reported to be on October 16 — could be the reason for the switch.

Since Bhansali plans to shoot his film at a stretch, he wanted bulk dates from Kareena. But she needed to take a break to prepare for the high-profile wedding. As a result, she was unable to commit to dates in advance.

“Whatever the case, Priyanka has been chosen because Bhansali wanted a completely fresh pairing. Priyanka is also excited because it’s one of Bhansali’s most prestigious projects. It’s an author-backed role,” says the insider, adding that the movie’s new leading lady will start preparing for the part in August, once she returns to India from a vacation in Europe. “It will be quite a challenge for her since Bhansali wants his actors to prepare extensively before shooting begins,” the source adds.

“It’s a full-on masala movie and is in the Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999 ) space. I am going to have a blast. Plus, with 11 songs and great locales, I feel the chemistry between Ranveer and Kareena is going to rock,” Bhansali had told HT Café a few days back. At that time, the filmmaker had revealed that he planned to take the film on the floors in July.

Priyanka remained unavailable for a comment while her spokesperson declined to make an official statement on the latest developments.

First look: Ranbir, Priyanka's Barfi!

Actors Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra starrer Barfi! has been creating waves for a long time.

The first trailer of the film has been released online. And going by the trailer released by UTV Motion Pictures, it seems like we are looking forward to another hit this year.

The film was earlier titled Silence, is about a speech and hearing impaired man, played by Ranbir, and the two women in his life, played by Priyanka and southern star Ileana D'Cruz.

The trailer has no dialogues, only funny gestures that show Ranbir Kapoor in a new look, sporting a tiny golden plait and wearing drab sleeveless sweaters.

From the trailer, it looks like Ranbir has been able to essay his role pretty well, and Priyanka's mentally challenged avatar looks quite promising.

The film is is expected to release in September 2012.

Priyanka thinks working with Kareena can be fun!

Mumbai: Actresses Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor have always been on a sour note. They have been rivals on screen as well as off the screen. But Priyanka now says that she would love to work with Bebo.

Since Priyanka was dating Kareena’s ex-beau, Shahid, media often reported about the animosity between the two divas. But their bitterness reached another level when PC refused to do an item number in Saif’s home production ‘Agent Vinod’.

According to the sources PC did not want to do an item number in ‘Agent Vinod’ since it was also Bebo’s film.

When Saif was recently asked by media at an event, if he was upset that PC didn`t want to do the song, and he replied, "I am completely fine with that, as most actresses do not want to share screen space with Bebo."

On the other hand Priyanka said, working with Kareena would be fun if it happens. "I was approached for the item song, but it never went further than a conversation. I would love to do a song with Kareena in her film; it would be fun. I believe Agent Vinod is shaping up to be a fantastic film, but I haven`t even heard the song yet. So please, stop the speculation."

'Kareena Kapoor out of Shahid Kapoor's guest list'

Shahid Kapoor is leaving no stone unturned for his home-production, Mausam. Shahid has personally invited everyone from Bollywood for the premiere of Mausam. Calling his ex-flames Vidya Balan and Priyanka Chopra but leaving Kareena Kapoor, the one woman with whom he had the longest relationship.

A source said, "Shahid and Pankaj decided the guestlist. They personally called or texted everyone from the industry. But maybe, Shahid didn't want Kareena."

This comes as a surprise because Shahid and Kareena have maintained that that they are cordial to each other and would love to work together again after Jab We Met.

Shahid and Kareena had also been very warm towards each other during the Filmfare awards earlier this year. Saif was also present with Kareena. The three of them had exchanged pleasantries and spent time together.

The reason for their break-up still remains a mystery since both of them have remained tight-lipped about it and moved on. Kareena began dating Saif Ali Khan immediately while shooting for Tashan.

Shahid found love in Vidya Balan while shooting for Aziz Mirza's Kismet Konnection. However, once the film released, Shahid decided to move on. Soon, they stopped talking to each other. According to sources, they drifted apart because Shahid was attracted to tennis star Sania Mirza.

Though, Kareena has been going strong with the Chhote Nawab, it is not the same for Shahid. The actor was seen hanging out with Priyanka Chopra soon after Vidya. Shahid and Priyanka had an on-off relationship interspersed with a lot of fights.

However, they have not let their personal differences disrupt their professional lives. Shahid and Priyanka will be seen together in Kunal Kohli's next untitled film. The three girls in question were unavailable for comment.

Now Madhur Bhandarkar plans 'Fashion' sequel!

Madhur Bhandarkar had to face some serious roadblocks for his project Heroine. Now that Kareena Kapoor has agreed to slip into the space left empty by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the filmmaker seems to be in a very happy space.

Bhandarkar has not only decided on the schedule for Heroine start-to-finish, but also started with his next project, Fashion Part 2.

A sequel to the 2008 blockbuster, Fashion, Bhandarkar's next project after Heroine will be co-produced by Bhandarkar Entertainment and UTV Motion Pictures. Fashion, a film that revealed the darker side of the fashion world, marked the debut of Bhandarkar's production house in 2008.

A source told Mumbai Mirror, "Bhandarkar and UTV's head honcho Ronnie Screwvala were both very keen to make the second part of Fashion.

Fashion did really well and also earned the lead actress Priyanka Chopra a lot of critical acclaim. Looks like finally, Bhandarkar and Screwvala will have their dream come true. They have decied to launch the second part to Fashion in 2012."

Heroine, which had originally gone on floors in June with Aishwarya Rai was halted midway due to the actress' pregnancy. The film will now go on floors in November with the new lead actress Kareena Kapoor. "Fashion Part 2 will go on floors in December 2012," added the source.

Though Shahid likes to stay mum when asked about the matters of the heart, he admits that he was never a loner. The star whose Mausam will hit the theaters soon confesses that he always used to be in relationships. But as for now he is enjoying his single status and has learnt that happiness comes from within and is not dependent on someone. Yes, he is very much single and ready to mingle. The actor gave a candid interview to Filmfare, talking about films, life and how he is a hopelessly romantic.

When asked whom he finds sexy, Priyanka or Kareena, he chose not to take names. But when it came to hotness quotient, Shahid rated Priyanka above Kareena and said, “Personally, I think is Priyanka is hotter.”

Priyanka Chopra talks about her relationship with younger brother

Actor Priyanka Chopra may be globetrotting,but she always puts her family right on top of her priority list. If there is one person she is really close to, then it is her younger brother, Siddharth.

And Raksha Bandhan is just the occasion to celebrate that bond between them. Talking about it, she says, “Over the past few years, it’s been difficult to celebrate Raksha Bandhan as my brother is away studying and I am travelling because of work. 

But it’s an important festival for us. No matter where we are in the world, we celebrate it.I make it a point to send him a rakhi no matter what. I’m going to miss him a lot today,”she says.

Brother Siddharth, who’s studying a culinary course, pampers his sister when they are together. “Sid is my baby brother and I love him. He's very loving, caring and tries to be a good brother. I always pamper him so he tries to return the favour by making Raksha Bandan special for me every year. He’s a great chef and I love food, so whenever we are together, he cooks me a very special meal,” gushes the actor.

Piggy Chops recently flew down to Switzerland, amidst her choc-a-bloc schedule, to be with her brother on his all important day — his graduation day. 

Sid was pleasantly surprised to see his sister there. Talking about the festival she says, “Though I always send him a rakhi, I only wish he took the trouble to send me a gift in return (laughs). I also have a very large family and many cousin brothers. They are spread all over theworld and I send all of them rakhis every year.”

I am good at hiding emotions: Priyanka Chopra

Priyanka Chopra says her songs will cover heart break and more

Priyanka Chopra is cutting her first international pop album. Not many know that apart from acting, PC has always dreamt of being a singer. Her close friends and family know her secret singing talent and have been pushing her to record an album over the years. Finally she's managed to get some time off and sign on a music label to make her first pop album. Here are excerpts from a conversation with her....

Why did it take so long to make this album ?
I have been terribly busy with films, but over the last six months I have been travelling to the US and meeting producers for my music album. I have always enjoyed singing and it has come naturally to me. But when I did it I wanted to do it right, which is why the delay. It will be a pop album because that's the kind of music I enjoy the most.

Describe the process of recording these songs..
It's a bit similar to that of a film set. When you enter a recording studio there are experts who know the technical stuff and help you out with conceiving a song. I also have people who will be co-writing the songs with me. I am working with some tremendous producers who are the best in the business right now. It's a collaborative process working with some one who gets the melody in your head and brings it down to a vocal booth. I have a super efficient team to work with.

Would you write songs about relationships and heart break that reflect your life...
As an actor I am expert at hiding my emotions because that's what we do. I am used to create different kinds of emotions. My music will be a blend of my personal experiences as well as creating different emotions and experiences through the songs.

Since you and Lady Gaga are on the same label, is there a duet in works ?
It's too early to say, but yes there will be collaborations. Lady Gaga has been very kind and said some really nice things about me. She's absolutely adorable and we would give her a grand welcome when she comes to India!
