Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra are my seniors: Katrina Kaif

Mumbai: Katrina Kaif today is no longer just a pretty face. She has proved her acting calibre in Rajneeti and now, Ek Tha Tiger. With ETT crossing the 100 crore mark at the Box Office, Kat is now one of the most bankable stars in the industry. But, when compared with her contemporaries like Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra, Katrina feels that they are way too ahead of her.

Katrina Kaif has so far acted in male oriented movies, where the heroine's role comes second after the male lead. But, her contemporaries like Kareena, Priyanka and Vidya Balan, have already made a stable position in the industry by choosing women oriented scripts. Talking to a leading website about the same, Katrina said, "Kareena and Priyanka are senior to me. They are way ahead of me."

She further said that if a script excites her, she agrees to the deal. Talking about the 100 crore craze in the recent times, Katrina said, " I am happy to see the business of cinema flourishing, films minting money. Yes, hits are important but somewhere your work has to be liked also."

Salman Khan changes Priyanka's role in Zanjeer remake

Salman is no longer just the spin-doctor on his own projects. Known to be a very active and dominant force behind his projects, Salman has now taken charge of Ramcharan 's Bollywood debut.

Recently, Salman had a meeting at his residence with Ramcharan and the Zanjeer director Apoorva Lakhia where he suggested some radical changes in the Zanjeer Remake, including the way Priyanka Chopra's character was to be packaged and portrayed.

That Salman has taken Ramcharan under his wings is no longer a secret. But here's something that would serve as an eye opener as to how much Salman is investing into his new protÃ©gÃ© from Hyderabad.

Last week, he invited Ramcharan and Zanjeer director Apoorva Lakhia to a very private dinner at his residence in Bandra to discuss ways to reinvent and contemporize Zanjeer. Salman whose father Salim Khan co-wrote the original Zanjeer, gave Ramcharan and Lakhia tips that are now being incorporated into the film.

Says a source close to the project, "Salman called Ramcharan and Apu home to discuss Zanjeer. He then began to astutely compare the new and old Zanjeer. The first suggestion that he made was to incorporate songs for Ramcharan's character. In the original, Inspector Vijay Khanna as played by Amitabh Bachchan was too serious a man to sing and dance. Salman wants that to change. He said to Ramcharan, 'You're one of the best dancers in Indian cinema. It would be silly to not have you sing and dance."

More importantly Salman made many important suggestions about Priyanka Chopra's character including how to bring in a much larger glamour quotient character.

Says a source, "Salman feels Priyanka's character can be a lot more attractive. He has suggested changes in her clothes, styling, songs and choreography. Since Priyanka doesn't start shooting for Zanjeer until October her character is being revamped as per Salman's suggestions."

Clearly then, Salman has never taken such a keen interest in any young actor's debut. Is it because Zanjeer was co-written by his father?

"Partly that. But it's more because of how protective he feels towards Ramcharan. The young Telugu superstar and his father the iconic Chiranjeevi are very dear to Salman. Salman feels Ramcharan's future in Bollywood is a personal resoponsibility," says a source very close to the neo-Zanjeer.

Priyanka replaces Kareena in Bhansali's next

A few days ago, Kareena Kapoor called Sanjay Leela Bhansali, “the truest successor to Raj Kapoor’s legacy.” Of course, Bebo was excited to work with Bhansali in his upcoming biggie, tentatively titled Ram Leela.

But now, in a major twist, the Heroine actor has been ousted from the film, and replaced with Priyanka Chopra. "We are not aware of the exact reasons why, but Priyanka has been roped in by Mr Bhansali. Although no one is ready to divulge details yet, Priyanka was confirmed for the role a couple of days back,” says an insider close to the project.

The film, which also stars Band Baaja Baraat (2010) actor Ranveer Singh, was initially supposed to go on the floors in July but now it’s believed to have been pushed back.

It seems that Kareena’s wedding to long-time beau Saif Ali Khan — reported to be on October 16 — could be the reason for the switch.

Since Bhansali plans to shoot his film at a stretch, he wanted bulk dates from Kareena. But she needed to take a break to prepare for the high-profile wedding. As a result, she was unable to commit to dates in advance.

“Whatever the case, Priyanka has been chosen because Bhansali wanted a completely fresh pairing. Priyanka is also excited because it’s one of Bhansali’s most prestigious projects. It’s an author-backed role,” says the insider, adding that the movie’s new leading lady will start preparing for the part in August, once she returns to India from a vacation in Europe. “It will be quite a challenge for her since Bhansali wants his actors to prepare extensively before shooting begins,” the source adds.

“It’s a full-on masala movie and is in the Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999 ) space. I am going to have a blast. Plus, with 11 songs and great locales, I feel the chemistry between Ranveer and Kareena is going to rock,” Bhansali had told HT Café a few days back. At that time, the filmmaker had revealed that he planned to take the film on the floors in July.

Priyanka remained unavailable for a comment while her spokesperson declined to make an official statement on the latest developments.

First look: Ranbir, Priyanka's Barfi!

Actors Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra starrer Barfi! has been creating waves for a long time.

The first trailer of the film has been released online. And going by the trailer released by UTV Motion Pictures, it seems like we are looking forward to another hit this year.

The film was earlier titled Silence, is about a speech and hearing impaired man, played by Ranbir, and the two women in his life, played by Priyanka and southern star Ileana D'Cruz.

The trailer has no dialogues, only funny gestures that show Ranbir Kapoor in a new look, sporting a tiny golden plait and wearing drab sleeveless sweaters.

From the trailer, it looks like Ranbir has been able to essay his role pretty well, and Priyanka's mentally challenged avatar looks quite promising.

The film is is expected to release in September 2012.
