It's Priyanka Chopra all the way this month with "God Tussi Great Ho" and "Chamku" releasing within two weeks of each other. And the svelte actress promises to look completely different in the two.
"Not that I planned for 'God Tussi...' and 'Chamku' to come one after another. But fortunately I look very different in both. In 'God Tussi...' I'm dressed in shorts and jeans. I wear a nose-ring throughout the film...a very hip and 'today' thing to do. In 'Chamku' I'm a schoolteacher. So I'm dressed in saris."
While "God Tussi..." is set to release on August 15, "Chamku" will hit screens on August 22.
The actress says she enjoyed herself while working for "God Tussi..." with Salman Khan and Amitabh Bachchan.
"We really had a good time shooting 'God Tussi Great Ho'. That sense of enjoyment shows up on screen."
But it is her "Chamku" co-star Bobby Deol whom she can't stop talking about.
"Bobby and I go back a long way. He and Sunnyji (Sunny Deol) are a part of my initial phase in Mumbai. Sunnyji did my first film 'The Hero' with me when I was a nobody. He didn't have to. But he encouraged a newcomer. I'll never forget that.
"As for Bobby we've done two films together before. I'd do anything for the Deols' banner Vijeta Films any time," Priyanka said.
Is that why she agreed to be in "Chamku" though it's an out-and-out Bobby Deol film?
"It is Bobby's film, but I've a substantial role. I am the shoulder he cries on. Sometimes it's good to be a shoulder instead of shouldering a film," she chuckled.
Meanwhile, Priyanka has also shot a special episode of Salman Khan's television game show "10 Ka Dum", brushing aside reports of differences having cropped up between them.
Priyanka appeared on the show along with Bobby Deol. The actress had reportedly refused to appear on "10 Ka Dum" along with beau Harman Baweja before the release of their film "Love Story 2050".
Priyanka said the shoot was done in the early hours of Wednesday and that she had a great time with Salman, her co-star in forthcoming film "God Tussi Great Ho".
"We shot the episode from 1 a.m. to 4 a.m. I had a tough time keeping my eyes open. But Salman entertained us all through. He played a double role - He was both the host and the hero of one of the films I was promoting."
Asked about the rumoured cold war between them, Priyanka said: "When did I ever say I had any problems with Salman? We make a fantastic on-screen pair. We proved it in 'Mujhse Shaadi Karoge'. And now again in 'God Tussi Great Ho' we rock together. Amitji (Amitabh Bachchan) plays god, by the way. As for Salman, he's always fun on the sets.
"He had me in splits during the shooting. He had Bobby and me entertained throughout 'Dus Ka Dum'. And yes we both won a lot of money."
