PRIANKA COUSIN PARINEETI CHOPRA WITH RANVEER SIAGH


Latest heartthrob of Bollywood, Actor Ranvir Singh is gearing up to romance Priyanka Chopra’s cousin Parineeti Chopra, in his second film, Ladies vs Ricky Bahl. The film star Anushka Sharma and Ranveer Singh in the lead.

Parineeti Chopra has been a part of the YRF’s for over a year in the Marketing Department as an integral part of the Promotional and PR team. She will make her debut in Ladies vs Ricky Bahl as part of the customary 3 film deal with the production house.

Given a one-off chance to audition for the film; Parineeti impressed both Maneesh and Aditya Chopra and was immediately cast for a role as one of the “ladies” who fall prey to the smooth talking guile of Ricky Bahl.

“I think Parineeti was phenomenal in her video test. I had no doubts that I wanted her in my film. In fact, when I worked on the script, I had her at the back of my mind, having interacted with her while she was in office”, said director Maneesh Sharma.

Parineeti Chopra shared her excitement on Twitter.

“Guyssss!! The BIGGEST news!! I am being launched by Yash Raj Films as their new talent and I’m signing a 3 film deal!!!!!!!!! :D :D ” Parneeti tweeted late night on February 14.

“My first film – Maneesh’s Sharma’s “ladies vs ricky bahl” with Ranveer and Anushka!!” she added.

Ferrari Ki Sawaari Kareena or Katrina ?

Bollywood Actor Sharman Joshi is all set to start shooting under the direction of debutant Rajesh Mapuskar and Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s next production, Ferrari Ki Sawaari. But the toughest question is who will play his leading lady. It is learnt that the filmmakers are considering either Kareena Kapoor or Katrina Kaif to play the lead.

Interestingly, the female lead’s role was completely absent in the film’s initial drafts. Hirani introduced the role when he took over the scripting of the movie. “Raju was in the process of scripting his next when Vinod asked him to write Ferrari Ki Sawaari. While writing this film, he came up with Joshi’s wife’s character, which is pivotal to the storyline,” reveals a source.

Katrina Mapuskar suggested casting Kaif as the wife whose character features in the flashback sequence, in black-and-white. “Rajesh is keen on Katrina as he feels she will look like the leading ladies in the era of black-and-white cinema,” explains a source.

On the other hand, Hirani and Chopra were considering Kapoor as she has done a scene in 3 Idiots with R Madhavan and Joshi, who unite her with their long-lost friend Rancho, played by Aamir Khan.

Kapoor declined to comment saying she hasn’t yet been approached for the role. “I had a wonderful time working in 3 Idiots. And apart from Aamir, Raju and Vinod, I also got along fabulously with Sharman and Madhavan,” she adds.

Chopra says that it is still too early to know who will be cast as Joshi’s wife in the movie. “We have already seen Sharman and Kareena in 3 Idiots and everyone loved them in the movie. In another few days, we’ll take the final call on the casting for this role,” he says.

Aamir Khan Regrets in 3 idiots

Bollywood Mr Perfectionist Actor Aamir Khan feels he should not have taken the role of a college student in 3 Idiots.

“I shouldn’t have acted in 3 Idiots as in no way do I look like an 18 year old. The only reason I did the film was because it was about education,” said Aamir, who was in the capital on Monday to launch the book ‘Colours of my Rainbow’ by Himani Verma.

The book tells the story of struggles of Salma Ansari, wife of the Vice President of India Hamid Ansari, to set up schools to marginalized and underprivileged children in Aligarh.

Aamir Khan said he was drawn towards the subject of education in movies after directing Taare Zameen Par.

“I was drawn towards stories about education ever since Taare Zameen Par and then 3 Idiots happened. Cinema has the ability to reach out to people and more films upholding this cause should be made,” said the actor.

Aamir flew down from Berlin where he is on the jury at the Berlin Film Festival.
