	view KAMINEY videos

When it comes to films, Priyanka Chopra is always ready to surprise you with her roles...if in one film she is the 'Desi Girl', in another she is a pucca Marathi mulgi, while in WHAT'S YOUR RASHEE, she is all set to portray twelve characters. Our correspondent chats up with the star on her films, marriage and Shahid Kapur.

You said your character in KAMINEY taught you how to love. How's that?
Well you will know that only after you see Sweety (Priyanka's character) in KAMINEY. All I can say now is that she is 'one of a kind' girl. When Vishal (Bharadwaj) narrated me the character I literally jumped with excitement...she is not a typical Bollywood character, if you know what I mean! She is ready to go to any extent for her love, so much so that she is even ready to take to violence to protect her lover. She has no nakhras (attitude problem)...she is for real.

And you learnt Marathi for Sweety?

"I am not ready to mingle at the moment."

Yes...I got myself a teacher to help me out with Marathi. My teacher even accompanied me to the sets so that I can carry on with my speech practice in between the shots.

That's really impressive.
Well, that's me...I am not satisfied unless I am able to give my 100% to my film(s).

Shahid Kapoor is playing both Guddu and Charlie. Who do you like more?
Oh my God! Do I have to make a choice? Guddu is so sweet, but Charlie is so good-looking! (Bursts into laughter)

You are playing 12 characters in WHAT'S YOUR RASHEE. So you are all set to break the record of Sanjeev Kumar, who portrayed nine characters in Naya Din Nayi Raat?
I have never thought of this! WHAT'S YOUR RASHEE is going to be a milestone in my career. It's about Hurman (Baweja) interacting with a girl from each of the 12 sun signs to decide which one to marry and that too within 10 days, and needless to say, I play all 12 girls from 12 sun signs! Imagine, people get to watch 12 Priyanka Chopras for one ticket...

Total paisa vasool?
(Giggles) Good in times of recession.

You are also doing Yash Raj's PYAAR IMPOSSIBLE?
Yes, but at the moment I can't say anything about it apart from the fact that this is the first time I will be working with Uday Chopra and the film will be directed by Jugal Hansraj.

Coming back to WHAT'S YOUR RASHEE, do you follow weekly astrology against your sun sign?
I don't believe in astrology. But if there is a newspaper or magazine lying in front of me, I do read my weekly or monthly forecast...just for time pass and fun...and then forget about it after sometime.

CHECK OUT: Priyanka-Harman re-kindle love?

After a big release, every other actor talks about taking breaks. But we have hardly heard of you holidaying in the past one year...
Don't remind me of holidays, please. I have been wanting to go for a long holiday for the past one year. But I am such a workaholic that even on holiday I will be reading scripts or doing this or that.

What do you generally do when you get free time and you are at home?
I love to go on long drives. And also love spending times in book shops and DVD stores. I am a total gadget freak...I can spend hours trying out new ones.

Being one of the busiest actors of Bollywood, do you get eight hours of sleep?
I make sure I do...or else, today's lenses are too sensitive.

How will you react to the media buzz that Shahid Kapur and you are a couple?
I will say- Priyanka Chopra is single and not ready to mingle with anyone at the moment.

'Kaminey' to hit silver screen this Friday

"Kaminey", which is releasing on this Friday, is all about gangsters, rebel soldiers, rogue politicians and crooked cops. After his critically-acclaimed "Omkara", director Vishal Bharadwaj is back with Shahid Kapoor-Priyanka Chopra-starrer dark drama "Kaminey".

The initial rushes and songs of the film have already created an unprecedented buzz among audiences and with a healthy round of eleventh hour promotions going on, "Kaminey" has gathered just enough momentum for its release.

With advance bookings having already opened Sunday instead of a Wednesday, the movie is already heating up the ticket counters in terms of bookings and insiders claim it is going to be the next superhit of the year.

The film revolves around twins - Charlie and Guddu - both played by Shahid. They are as different as chalk and cheese and can't stand the sight of each other till one fateful rainy night their lives cross.

Charlie gets mixed up in a deathly get-rich-quick scheme, while Guddu realises that the love of his life, Sweety, has unwittingly put a price on his head.

It's a dark comic ride thereon and their lives collide with the lives of gangsters, rogue politicians and crooked cops. In the middle of this crazy adventure, the brothers have to run to protect themselves, their dreams, their love.... And most importantly, realise that all they have is each other.

Produced and distributed by UTV Motion Pictures, the film has been written and directed by Bharadwaj. Shahid plays a double role for the first time and it also has writer-director Amol Gupte making his on-screen debut.

Industry sources reveal that the movie is made at a budget of around Rs.35 crore (Rs.350 million) and is releasing worldwide with around 1,100 prints and an 'A' certificate.

" 'Kaminey' is an important film for me as I have tried many new things in it. For the first time I am playing a double role and I'm trying something different from a love story. In fact, this is also the first commercial film of Vishal Bharadwaj," said Shahid.

Distributors are also positive about the film.

" 'Kaminey' is going to be a super-duper hit. The songs are already a hit and like every UTV venture, the promotions are in full progress. Moreover, the unique plot and Shahid's double role has already created curiosity among the masses," said a Delhi-based distributor.

"The biggest factor for the movie will be that it is releasing on the weekend of Aug 15, which will draw footfalls in hordes, as everyone will be having a holiday over the weekend," he added.

"There is a big buzz for the movie and we have already started receiving a very good advance booking buzz... Independence Day holidays will favour the movie, bringing in a tremendous initial and a very good business," said Amit Awasthi, manager (programming and operations) of Spice Cinemas, Noida.

"Kaminey" is Shahid's first outing in 2009 after last year's dud "Kismet Konnection" and Priyanka's first full-fledged role after a cameo in Shah Rukh Khan-starrer "Billu". The movie is also Bharadwaj's first venture three years after "Omkara".

Priyanka is great…as an actress: Shahid Kapoor

Are they or aren't they a couple? That's a question Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor steered clear of, even as he praised his "Kaminey" co-star Priyanka Chopra to the skies saying she is at her "career's best right now".

"I always knew Priyanka is a very good actress and after working on 'Kaminey' with her, I realised that she has given one of the most splendid performances of her career. I think Priyanka is at her career's best right now," Shahid told reporters here Sunday evening.

"Apart from that she is a team player and it's so great she did this film despite knowing that the hero has a double role. She is a self-assured actor and very confident. She knows whatever she does she'll give her best and she'll be noticed and appreciated by the audience," he added.

Reminiscing on his camaraderie with the beauty queen-turned-actress while filming the movie, he said: "It was amazing and I had a lot of fun working with her. We started our careers almost at the same time (2003)."

The 28-year-old actor was in the capital to be a part of BIG 92.7 FM's 'Dilli Ka Kaminaaapan Quotient' contest and promote his film "Kaminey" at the radio station. The contest was won by 15 listeners who had to prove that they are the biggest 'kamina' of the city.

Releasing Friday, "Kaminey" has been produced and distributed by UTV Motion Pictures and written-directed by Vishal Bhardwaj. Writer-turned-director Amol Gupte makes his onscreen debut in the film.

Shahid is on a chain of promotion visits and has been noticed marketing the movie alone, without the leading lady.

He explained: "Me and Priyanka are doing a lot of promotions together and also individually. We are together promoting (the film) and we recently did a press conference in Bangalore."

"Kaminey" has had its share of controversies too considering a reported on-off relationship between Shahid and Priyanka.

Shahid kept mum on this but insisted that such rumours added to "pressure" in a celebrity's life and career.

"People say that any kind of promotion is good promotion but I don't personally subscribe to that… The rumours add pressure. It's difficult all the time dealing with all the speculations about your personal life but I guess as an actor it becomes a part of your job… its an occupational hazard. But it's not a great feeling… you have to learn to deal with it," he said.

"It's ok to be a bit inquisitive about anything (from the media's side) but it's also important to have a little privacy of your own (for actors)," he added.

thanks for the pictures and articles shelly. but i didn't find any sizzling chemistry between shanks as they had in the photoshoot.

Your welcome, Zareena.You mean in the pictures from the press meet? Yeah, neither did I. Well i guess it's clear now that nothing is in between them and because of the media speculations they may also be trying not to cause any other stories to be made in the future.

Btw, want to start a game again? (:
