I don't like to talk about SRK anymore: Priyanka Chopra

By Hindustan Times
Fed up of linking rumours with King Khan, Priyanka Chopra tells Filmfare that she would keep mum as far as Shah Rukh Khan is concerned. The actress adds there's no tension between the two, and SRK is as heart-warming as ever.
On being asked if she now hesitates talking about SRK to media, Priyanka Chopra told the magazine: "Definitely. Now I don’t talk about him at all. I’ve always respected, emulated and idolised him but I don’t like to talk about it anymore."
Any tension between the two? "None whatsoever. SRK is as heart-warming as ever. He recently came on my show on a public platform. He was fun like he always is," the actress tells the magazine.
About tiff with star wives
"Look, if an actor doesn’t want to work with me, he won’t. I don’t want to get into whether he won’t because his wife or director has warned him against it or he himself is averse to it."
"If someone doesn’t want to work with me, it’s okay. I’ll find a smaller film to do, I’m a heroine and I’m small compared to all the big heroes. I conduct myself with dignity and that’s what matters," Priyanka adds.

'Bol Bachchan' rights: Ajay denies cheating distributor

Actor Ajay Devgn, whose name has cropped up in a case filed in a local court by Nagpur-based distributor over theatre rights of 'Bol Bachchan', has denied his involvement in it saying they have not cheated anyone. "It is ridiculous. The matter is in court and with the

association...he is saying something, we are saying something. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So whoever is right...the right thing will be done," Ajay told PTI. "If he has one point then we also have one point. I don't want to talk about it as the matter is in court. We have not cheated anybody," the actor said.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Nagpur-based distributor filed a civil case against actor and co-producer Ajay Devgn for his upcoming film 'Bol Bachchan' and Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd in a local court, alleging that the producers went in for a deal with another company by dishonouring the one struck with him last year, for the film's all-India theatre rights.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He moved local court seeking stoppage of film release and refund of the token money. Appu Wadhwani, the distributor running a company Hira Laxmi Amusement Private Ltd, had entered into an agreement with the producers for all-India theatre rights (distribution)

last year for Rs 53.20 crore and had paid a token money of Rs 1.01 crore. But the deal fell through.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The producers later entered into a fresh deal with Fox Star Studios. "We have been requesting him to come to the association and solve the matter but he is not coming. He can claim whatever he wants. The matter is in court. There are two issues in it. I am not involved in this," Ajay said. "It is there between him and Ashtavinayak, there are different issues...both have filed case in the court. Nobody is cheating anybody. The court will decide and whatever they decide will be done," he added.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

'Bol Bachchan' is a romantic-comedy film directed by Rohit Shetty, and starring Abhishek Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, Asin Thottumkal and Prachi Desai in lead roles. Inspired by the 1979 comic flick 'Golmaal, the film is slated for release on July 6. PTI

Leading actors refused to star in "Kai Po Che": Director

Director Abhishek Kapoor, who is adapting Chetan Bhagat's book "3 Mistakes of My Life" for the big screen, says leading Bollywood actors refused to be a part of "Kai Po Che" because it is a multi-starrer. The film stars Sushant Singh Rajput of "Pavitra Rishta" fame, "Love Sex And Dhokha" actor Raj Kumar Yadav, TV actor Amit Sadh and "Aisha" actress Amrita Puri.

Kapoor said he initially approached few big stars for his movie but was turned down by them because they didn't want to star in a three hero film. 

"Initially I tried to get some big names on board but they all had some apprehensions because they didn't want to work in three-hero film. Especially the younger lot as they

are so vulnerable - they think 'If I do this film then what will be my future?'," Kapoor told PTI.

 

However, the "Rock On" director is glad he didn't spend much time running behind the stars and is satisfied with his choice of actors. "I wouldn't change the script to suit anyone. They are three friends and they should be equal. It should not be that one is a hero and other two are flunkies. Big actors are not authorities on what is a good film or bad film. I can't decide

my career trajectory based on what stars want.

 "If you want to work with stars then you should make movies which they like... I want to make movies which I like. I can't do everything for money and short term. I would like

my movie to be appreciated 50 years down the line," he said. The film is set in Gujarat and follows the story of three boys - Ishaan, Omi and Govind.

 

Kapoor said that although the movie is based on Bhagat's novel he has changed about 50-60 per cent of the story line. "It is based on Chetan's book but to change a book to screenplay is a huge process. The adaptation takes a while and a lot of changes are made." PTI
