Not in the pink of health, nursing a cough and cold, the ever professional Priyanka Chopra was not going to let a bout of flu come in the way of her promotional drive. Looking ultra slim in a white and black fitted dress, the actress-singer wasn't as nervous as her co-star Ram Charan Teja who cleared the air about being misquoted when he said he was "not expecting much from Zanjeer."
"I always expect a lot from my movies, and this one is no exception," said the new debutante from the south who is testing Bollywood waters. Stepping into the illustrious shoes of Amitabh Bachchan, Ram Charan said, "I am wearing my own shoes, and yes, it took me a long time to say yes to this film, I will be scrutinised but let's hope I get ten percent of the love from the audience." Priyanka Chopra, who has now become synonymous with Bachchan remakes with appearances in Don, Agneepath and now Zanjeer, said, "I have a good track record with the remakes, so I am the lucky mascot."
Happy that the restraining order had been removed, we asked Priyanka and Ram Charan whether they had pre-empted the economic crisis, their tag line being "a fight against the oil mafia." The cast hoped they could fight against the rising rupee dollar ratio instead. Priyanka, who has been working on her boxing skills and working out hard in the gym, admitted that she hated pumping iron, and was waiting to wrap up the Mary Kom biopic so that she wouldn't need to go to the gym anymore.
"Yes, it's a tough role, the lady is 32 and still boxing, what achievements and hats off to her. And there hasn't been a movie on a female achiever since Fearless Nadia," she said. "Mary Kom is tough and I am giving it all I have," she added. So, what about the Chopra box office clash with cousin Parineeti's Shuddh Desi Romance hitting theatres on the same day? Pat came the reply: "It's a Chopra weekend at the movies. Enjoy folks."
