Priyanka Chopra and two flop heroes

Priyanka Chopra is out on a spree to establish flop heroes, it seems coz she will be seen with two down market Bollywood hunks, Uday Chopra and Dino Morea, in Yashraj Films’ ‘Pyaar Impossible’.

It is well understood that the movie is most probably a move from the production house to re-launch Uday Chopra, the Chopra scion. Dino Morea will play Priyanka’s love interest.

‘Pyaar Impossible’ is said to be inspired from superhit Hollywood movie ‘Notting Hill’ which starred Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant in the lead. Here, the role of Hugh Grant, a humble bookshop owner, is going to be played by Uday Chopra. The movie is set to roll in February this year.

Shahruk khan Deepika and Farah - The trio is back

The hit triumvirate of Om Shanti Om - Farah Khan, Shahrukh Khan and Deepika Padukone are back for SRK’s home production, Billu Barber as they sizzle for the Love Mera Hit Hai.

Farah says, “It was great fun doing this song. I didn’t have any sense of deja vu because it is very different from OSO which mostly had retro moves. This song is very hip-hop, it has a futuristic look, and the moves I have given them are like that. I couldn’t say no to Shah Rukh even though my babies were just born.”

Deepika on being back with SRK and Farah excitedly says, “Working with them is special because Shah Rukh and Farah are the two people I have started my career with. I am glad he asked me. Farah these days has become very selective and will not take up anything unless it excites her, so it’s all the more reason for me to be a part of this song. We relived so many memories, I felt I was going back to the sets of OSO. My costume designer is Manish Malhotra even in this film, and we had the same caterer — Mutthuswami, serving us. It was so much fun.”

King Khan is also happy with Deepika for agreeing to dance for his home production, he says, “It was sweet of her to agree. She is very talented and works hard. Working with the younger lot is really a learning process. They are so much fun, confident, and aware. They are all my future investments. ”

Apart from Deepika, SRK will also be seen with Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor in two other item songs.
