INTERVIEW WITH THE SEXY LADY:

Priyanka's latest role of protecting Abhishek Bachchan in Drona , we wonder if she’s turning into the Indian version of Lara Croft.while according to her “ it's not a Lara Croft kind of character”. “It is something that has been derived from Indian mythology, so it is a very interesting concept. It is an action-oriented character and I play Abhishek Bachchan’s bodyguard in the film.” She has trained herself to play the part of the bodyguard. “I learnt a Sikh form of martial arts which is called Gatka . I’ve practiced for about three to four weeks. It is a defence mechanism – using a chakra – it’s mostly based on defence tactics,” . With action being the new buzz word in her life, was she also doing stunts in Love Story 2050 with Harman Baweja? “Not at all. That’s a love story, not an action film. And the action is Harman’s forte, not mine,” she says. And how’s the film shaping up? “It’s shaping up pretty well. It’s looking good so far. It has some great music, and I’m hoping for the best from this film,” says the actress. Strangely, there’s been a lot of confusion about the films Priyanka has signed up of late. Was she doing Rajkumar Santoshi’s Halla Bol or Feroz Khan’s remake of Qurbani ? “I’m not doing Halla Bol at all,” says Priyanka, not at all amused by the rumours. “nor Qurbani .” What about Santoshi’s London Dreams ? “I don’t know what’s happening with that film. I haven’t signed it as yet. We did have initial talks about it but after that nobody got back to me.” Was she deliberately staying away from Hollywood films at a time when every actress was looking Westward? If someone were to offer her a Hollywood film, what kind of film would she be looking for? “I’m not looking for anything,” says the actress categorically. “I’m looking for a good script. I’m not looking to be a Hollywood actress. It’s not just the genre that matters. It’s the film in totality.”
