Priyanka Chopra in a still from Gunday
New Delhi:
Welcome to That 70's Show as Priyanka Chopra, Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor gear up for their big Valentine's Day release Gunday.
Set in 1971 Calcutta, the film is the story of two small time coal thieves who soon get involved in the mafia and their object of affections is a cabaret dancer played by Priyanka Chopra.
So are Ranveer and Arjun all set to step into the iconic shoes of Jai-Veeru?A flattered Arjun said that those were rather tough shoes to fill but they have tried to bring the action of the 70's back on screen.
The bonhomie between the two male leads is so infectious, but what would Priyanka do if she had two men fighting for her affections in real life?."Ha, happens all the time," said the desi girl with a laugh. Priyanka's cabaret number Ishqum drew over a million hits. The actress was recently awarded International Icon and with four Filmfare awards in her kitty and a National Award was the Padma Shri on her wish list?
"Ha, I love awards," said Priyanka with a grin. However, Ranveer did not share the same sentiment, and said that the awards and their choice left a lot to be desired. The actor had voiced his disapproval when his critically acclaimed Lootera was ignored by some popular awards saying the merit of awards was questionable. "But it's just me thinking that way," said the actor, adding for good measure while teasing Priyanka about the number of awards she's collected: "I am a trophy spouse."
With sister Parineeti's film drawing in rave reviews, Priyanka said the Chopra sisters were there to rock the box office and both Arjun and Ranveer, who had shared screen space with Parineeti, admitted that the "Chopra girls were indeed their lucky charm."So with Hrithik opting out of Shuddhi, was Ranveer the one to step into it?
The actor denied it saying he had not been approached for Shuddhi and those rumours of him and Deepika co-starring in the film were nothing but rumours.
And what did he have to say to former good friend Anushka Sharma announcing on Koffee With Karan that she would press delete on Ranveer's name? The actor looked flummoxed but director Ali Abbas Zafar came to his rescue saying, "Ranveer is a system that never hangs."
Well it seems this team of Gunday sure do know how to flex the popularity quotient.
