It looks like it's turning into a numbers game for Priyanka Chopra movies.
Recently she released "What's Your Raashee?" in which she played twelve different characters, and now she is slated to star in the upcoming Bollywood movie "Seven" as a character that has seven husbands.
Rumor has it that Indian film actor and producer Mohanlal will play one of her husbands, and that Indian actor Hrithik Roshan may play another.
Filming is schedualed to begin in 2010.
And while "Seven" may start filming in 2010, on Februrary 12th, a movie will come out that is generating a lot of buzz already.
"My Name is Khan" stars Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol.
Expect this Bollywood film to go big, as it is being distributed by Fox Star Studios India in India, Fox Searchlight in the U.S. and 20th Century Fox worldwide.
And to boost it even further, the first promo for "My Name is Khan" will be released with James Cameron's much anticipated Avatar, which opens globally on December 18.
Madhuri Dixit is in negotiations to play her her idol former prime minister Indira Gandhi in Krishna Shah's biopic.
But don't expect this film to have an easy path.
Biopics on Indira Gandhi by Jagmohan Mundhra and N. Chandra have been tried and shot down already.
Madhuri is a legend in Hindi cinema so don't expect her to commit until things are a bit more finalized with the film.
Karan Johar's new Bollywood film "Kurbaan" has not made a killing at the box office and been getting mixed reviews, but everyone seems to think that Kareena Kapoor (as Avantika Ahuja) has turned in a great performance.
The film that had location shoots in Philadelphia and Brooklyn, ran into a bit of trouble before release when a petition was filed in the Bombay High Court to stay the release of movie.
After responses from Karan Johar, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor, the court declined to stay the release of the film.
But back to Kareena....
Gaurav Malani for IndiaTimes Movies said...
"After long, Kareena Kapoor gets a role of substance that brings her performing potential to the fore."
Taran Adarsh/IndiaFM...
"As for Kareena, Kurbaan reiterates one fact yet again: She's the best in the business. No two opinions on that!"
Masand's Movie Review...
"Kareena Kapoor goes for a simmering, slow-burning performance that eventually punches you in the gut."
Udita Jhunjhunwal DNAIndia...
"Kareena Kapoor looks lovely and plays her part with sincerity, even though Avantika is not a strong character."
Of course Ben Kingsley is well known for his Oscar winning performance playing Gandhi, but now he wil bring another figure in Indian history to life, Shah Jahan, the man who built the Taj Mahal.
And starring as Mumtaz Mahal, (Jahan's favored wife and the woman whose death inspired the construction of the Taj Mahal) will be the lovely Aishwarya Rai.
The upcoming film "Taj" will have a budget over $30 million dollars and Kingsley will not only star in the movie, but produce it as well.
Don't you all think that Madhuri should do some negatve roles, pour in your ideas.
