Bollywood Women - Priyanka Chopra

You know, I have never really stopped and done any background info on some of these Bollywood actresses that you may not be familiar with.
So let's start out with the breath-taking Priyanka Chopra.
Priyanka is an Indian actress, model and former 2000 Miss World.
She was born on July 18th, 1982 in Jamshedpur, Jharkand, India, and made her acting debut in the 2002 Tamil film Thamizhan (with Joseph Vijay, Revathi, Nassar and Vivek).

Priyanka has appeared in almost forty films, and won a ton of awards including National Film Awards, Filmfare Awards, Star Screen Awards and Zee Cine Awards.
She has three films for 2010, Pyaar Impossible, Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai and Anjaana Anjaani.
For 2011, she already has Saat Khoon Maaf, Alibaba Aur 41 Chor and Don 2 - The Chase Continues lined up.

Bollywood Women - Priyanka Chopra, posted to http://bollywoodwomen.blogspot.com/ on August 22nd, 2010

Kajol, Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor and More

Kajol's much anticipated "My Name Is Khan" will be released on February 12, 2010, but the soundtrack was already released on January 4, 2010.
The music is by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, with lyrics by Niranjan Iyengar.
You can go here http://www.songs5.com/My_Name_is_Khan-2256.html to get free downloads of the film's music.
The film will be shown at the Berlin in International Film Festival from Feb 11 to 21, 2010.

I mentioned in an earlier post that beautiful Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra would be starring in the upcoming Bollywood film "Seven" as a woman that weds seven different men.
(Among those men are Malayalam superstar and National Award winner Mohanlal and Indian actor Hrithik Roshan)
But unlike "What’s Your Rashee?" where the lovely Priyanka played twelve different roles, in this one, she will only be playing one.
It seems that "What’s Your Rashee?" was enough for Priyanka, but rumors say she has said that she will never play multiple roles in her again.
Can you blame her?
That has to be VERY taxing on anyone.
"Pyaar Impossible", her last film got mixed reviews, so lets hope "Seven" does a lot better.

Kareena Kapoor will be co-starring with ShahRukh Khan in the upcoming superhero film, "Ra-1".
And Kareena will be showing up in the film not only in real life, but as an animated character as well.
Rumor also has it that as opposed to films like "The Dark Knight", the films set will be lively and brightly colored.
Hey, it may be a nice change from the constant gloom we get in super hero flicks today.

I mentioned in the last entry that Aishwarya Rai will be starring in the upcoming Sci-Fi movie Endhiran.
What I didnt mention was that this will be Aishwarya's Tamil cinema debut.
And Endhiran will most likely wind up being the most expensive film ever made in Indian cinema.
Endhiran is expected to be released on April 14, 2010.
If you'd like to keep up on how things are going with the film, you can head over to http://www.directorshankaronline.com/ and check out director S Shankar's blog.

There seems to maybe be a little tension on the set of the comedy movie "No Problem" directed by Anees Bazme.
And the tension is coming in the form, or rather forms, of Sushmita Sen, Kangna Ranaut and Neetu Chandra.
Rumor has it that Neetu and Kangna aren't getting along that well on the set.
But you have to remember, that's all it is...a rumor.
Other reports from the set said that everything was going fine, and that everyone was having fun.
This is Kangna's first comedy, and she will be playing the younger sister of Sushmita Sen.

Madhuri Dixit, Priyanka Chopra, Kajol and Aishwarya Rai

Bollywood is still wondering if the legendary Madhuri Dixit will accept the role of Indira Gandhi (India's first and only female Prime Minister) in Krishna Shah's upcoming biopic.
But while everyone is waiting on Madhuri, Krishna is approaching Hollywood stars like Tom Hanks, Tommy Lee Jones, Albert Finney, Helen Mirren and Emily Watson for roles in the movie.
But while her role as Indira Gandhi may still be up in the air, Madhuri appears to be going ahead with portraying another historical Indian figure, Ambapali (Ambapālika or Amrapāli).
Indian film director and choreographer Farah Khan is planning to produce a Broadway show based on Amrapali, and she wants Madhuri for the lead.

Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra continues her dominance over at Twitter.
As of this entry, she has over 103,000 followers.
And Twitter is not the only place that the lovely Bollywood actress can be found.
Over at Facebook, she has 34,000 fans.
AND Priyanka has her own website coming soon that you can see here:
http://www.iampriyankachopra.com/

And speaking of Priyanka, here is a video promo for her upcoming Bollywood film "Pyaar Impossible"

Another Bollywood film generating a lot of buzz is My Name Is Khan starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol.
Just by looking at the trailer, both Kajol and Khan look they turn in very powerful performances.

The ever popular Aishwarya Rai is very busy these days.
She is filming the science-fiction Tamil–language film Endhiran, the Tamil language drama film Raavana (and the same movie Raavan in Hindi), the time travel film Action Replay and finally (for now at least) Guzaarish.
But Ash did take time out recently to actually do her own Tweet on Twitter, although she was on her husband Abhishek’s account.
So when is Ash gonna get her own Twitter account?

Bollywood Actress News - Priyanka Chopra, Kajol and More

More Bollywood actress news with Priyanka Chopra, Kajol, Madhuri Dixit, Kareena Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai, so lets get started...

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.

Priyanka Chopra in What's Your Raashee?

Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra's new movie "What's Your Raashee?"comes out today and the critics seem to like it except for one thing.
It's three and a half hours long.

In the film Priyanka gets a role that would make Jim Carrey or Eddie Murphy proud, she gets to play twelve different characters.

The film is a romantic comedy (the first) from director Ashutosh Gowariker.
He also directed the award winning films Lagaan, Swades and Jodhaa Akbar.
But to maintain interest for over three hours is quite a feat as a lot of directors have found out the hard way.

The films plot is a Chicagoan (Harman Baweja) returns home to Mumbai and has ten days to find a wife and get his Grandfather's inheritance.
He interviews twelve women (all played by Priyanka) each with a different astrological sign (raashee) and each with their own unique personality which gives Priyanka time to show off her acting abilities.

I understand the length of the movie.
Cutting it down to say 2 hours would have lost a lot of story.
Ashutosh couldn't very well have taken the film and pulled a Quentin Tarantino making "What's Your Raashee" Part 1 and Part 2 ala "Kill Bill".
So I think the movie had to pretty much be made the way it was.

Now, will the audiences feel the same way?


Priyanka Chopra in What's Your Raashee?, posted to http://bollywoodwomen.blogspot.com/ on Sept 25th, 2009.

Aishwarya Rai, Priyanka Chopra and Rani Mukherjee

One of the most successful female filmstars in the history of Indian cinema, Hema Malini, has said that the only Bollywood actress that deserves the title "Dream Girl" is the beautiful and talented Aishwarya Rai.
High praise indeed coming from a lady thats made a name for herself as not only an Indian actress, director and producer but as a Bharatanatyam dancer-choreographer as well.
The lovely Ash is keeping herself busy, with four movies coming out in 2010.
First up is Endhiran, a science-fiction Tamil language film being directed by S. Shankar.
Then Ashokavanam, also a Tamil film, directed, written and produced by Mani Ratnam.
Next up are two Hindi movies, Raavan, also being directed by Mani Ratnam, and Action Replay directed by Vipul Shah.


There is a rumor going around that Priyanka Chopra is going to work with UK-based pop star Jay Sean on his new album.
Priyanka big fan of Jay Sean’s music and it's rumored that she will appear in at least one music video for him.
This isn't Jay Sean’s first Bollywood connection.
The lovely Bipasha Basu worked with him on his music video "Stolen".


And the bad feelings between Salman Khan and Aditya Chopra have been healed thanks to Rani Mukherjee.
Evidently the love of Salman's life and the friend of Aditya has been working behind the scenes to get the two back on speaking terms.
So I guess you can add "peacemaker" to Rani's list of credits.
BTW, you can get a lot more info on Rani at this great site I found (no, it's not mine...LOL)
Rani Mukherjee Saree

Priyanka Chopra News

Priyanka Chopra got the thumbs up for 'Hottest swimwear of the year' from buzz18.com for the gold swimsuit she wore in the movie "Dostana".

And it doesn't stop there.
Priyanka also won the Best Actress Award for ‘Fashion’ at the Nokia 15th Annual Star Screen Awards.

And evidently Priyanka and Katrina Kaif had a few words about who was going to perform the grand finale of Star Screen Awards.
Priyanka wanted to go last, but so did Katrina.
The closing number was called ‘Five Divas’, and had Bipasha Basu , Deepika Padukone , Anushka Sharma , Katrina Kaif and Priyanka all performing.
Katrina won the arguement and got to perform last.
Well what do you expect?
Look up Diva, "a star who is a "diva" is arrogant, difficult to work with, high-maintenance, manipulative, fussy, highly strung, privileged and demanding".
Okay it also means the feminine of the Latin word divus, "god" so "goddess" would work too.
But get five Divas together and what do you think would happen?

Top Ten Actresses in Bollywood

Who is the most beautiful actress in Bollywood?
Well beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so you have to judge that for yourself.
But as far as the most searched for actresses in Bollywood films, that I can answer.
Here they are, starting in order with.......


Aishwarya Rai
Born in Mangalore Karnataka, India on November 1 1973, India, this beauty has 3 movies coming out in 2009, The Pink Panther 2, Raavan and Ashokavanam.

Tabu
Tabassum Hashmi was born on November 4, 1970 in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India. She has a ton of movies coming out in 2009. Anurag Singh's Next, Season's Greetings, Toh Baat Pakki, The Legend of Kunal, Thalaivan Irukirran, Jailor and Naa Intlo Oka Roju.

Kajol
Was born on born August 5, 1975 in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. Kajol will be taking it a bit easier with only three movies coming out in 2009. Toonpur Ka Superhero, Koochie Koochie and My Name is Khan.

Deepika Padukone
Another foreign born Bollywood actress, she was born on born January 5, 1986 in Copenhagen, Denmark. In 2009 she will appear in Billu Barber (who isn't in this movie?), Chandni Chowk To China and Production No.1.

Madhuri Dixit
A bit older than the other actresses on this list,, she was born on May 15, 1967 in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. She hasn't acted in a movie since Aaja Nachle in 2007, but that didn't stop her from coming in at seven on this list.

Priyanka Chopra

Preity Zinta
Born January 31, 1975 in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, India. Only two movies for Preity in 2009. Main Aur Mrs. Khanna and Har Pall.

Priyanka Chopra At an Art Show

Bollywood actresses are not like their Hollywood counterparts.
I don't think they have anything comparable to Paris, Britney and Lindsay.
No, by contrast the actresses in Bollywood seem calm and reserved.
Charity events and art shows seem to be more in line with India.
As evidenced by this appearance by the beautiful Priyanka Chopra.......

Priyanka Chopra At Ayushi Mahajan's Art Show
Oh what a swanky scene at Ayusi Mahajan's art exhibit, held last night in the uber posh five-star Leela Hotel in Mumbai night last. The event that showcased the work of the already flourishing artist, Ayushi Mahajan, probably became a bigger success with the appearance of the gorgeous Bollywood actress and former Miss World winner, Priyanka Chopra. The event was purely put together to display and promote the art of the talented Ayushi Mahajan whose pieces featured at the show ranged from beautiful, calm, cool and tranquil realistic nature scenes which included sunsets and beaches to bright and bold modern, minimalistic, paint splattered art.

Who is the top Bollywood Actress?

India Times has posted a list of the highest paid actresses in Bollywood.
The list goes like this....
Kareena Kapoor
Aishwarya Rai
Katrina Kaif
Deepika Padukone
Bipasha Basu
Priyanka Chopra



Very impressive list.
But I matched that list against the most popular (highest searched) Bollywood actresses and it came out like this.....
Aishwarya Rai
Kareena Kapoor
Katrina Kaif
Deepika Padukone
Priyanka Chopra
Bipasha Basu

The top spot looks like a fairly even battle between Aishwarya Rai and Kareena Kapoor.

So just who is the reigning Queen of Bollywood?

Priyanka Chopra scared to walk the ramp!

Who could believe that Bollywood actress and former Miss India Priyanka Chopra would be afraid of anything?
But according to the India Target, she's afraid of something you'd think would be easy for her.....

Priyanka scared to walk the ramp!
by Rajiv Dutta
Former Miss India and Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra was a model and she had walked the ramp number of times but it is surprising to know that the actress biggest fear is to walk the ramp. Whenever she is bound to do fashion shows she used to have goose bumps. She has divulged this secret after walking the ramp for ace designer Ritu Kumar. Revealing her fear, Piggy Chops said, "I am not a ramp-friendly person, as professionally I have walked the runway just for a couple of months. You can say I am out of practice."

Women at War

Women at War

Priyanka Chopra is honing her skills in martial arts for her roles in Love Story 2050 and Drona; Aishwarya Bachchan is learning the art of sword play for Jodhaa Akbar; and Deepika Padukone is practising hard on her breath-taking stunts for Made in China.

The leading ladies of Bollywood are flexing their muscles with a newfound excitement to usher in the New Year with loads of action in their forthcoming films. So, does that mean it is a new phase heralding the advent of action heroines in Hindi cinema? According to filmmaker Junaid Memon, it is a trend which is getting increasingly popular, and is reminiscent of old Hindi films like Fearless Nadia. Says he, “It’s good that directors and producers are working on action-packed women-oriented scripts. They have realised that today’s female actors are not mere glam dolls, and that they can do much more. It shows that a female actor, too, can carry an action film on her shoulders.”

Indian actress Priyanka Chopra injures herself during filming

Indian actress Priyanka Chopra injures herself during filming

MUMBAI, India:
Popular Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra tore a muscle while filming a stunt for an action-packed role in her new movie, a newspaper reported Friday.

In the film Chopra plays a bodyguard skilled in an ancient Sikh martial art, wielding a sword and a 'kirpan,' or dagger, traditionally carried by followers of the Sikh religion.

"I was doing a somersault when I felt something give way inside my rib cage," The Times of India quoted her as saying. "I've apparently suffered a tear in my abs."

The former Miss World is among the few Indian actresses to take on action roles and do her own stunts.

Although she was advised to rest, her busy schedule did not permit a break for the next few weeks — she has dance scenes and more stunts to film.

Priyanka Chopra leads the female brigade

Priyanka Chopra leads the female brigade

You’re the first A-list actress in Bollywood who’s gone corporate, signing up multi-film deals with production houses. What advantage does this give you, considering you’re already in a position to pick and choose your roles?

This industry has always been male-dominated. Given this fact, it feels great to lead the women’s brigade and sign a deal of such significance. It feels nice to know that a production house believes I am bankable enough for such a contract.

I have always wanted to be more involved in the making of films. In this deal, I will be involved in the film’s conception, shortlisting scripts and genres. I will have full freedom to choose directors and even technicians! I am looking forward to creating celluloid magic together with the production house.

Priyanka Chopra approaches SC on row with ex-secretary

Priyanka Chopra approaches SC on row with ex-secretary

NEW DELHI: Apprehending that her former private secretary P Jaju might appeal against her acquittal in the criminal intimidation case, Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra has urged the Supreme Court not to pass any orders without hearing her.

The actress made the plea in a caveat application filed through counsel P Narasimhan, but kept it under wraps for inexplicable reasons.

Though no official information was coming forth from the actress' side, it was stated that the actress had filed the caveat against the special leave petition (SLP) sought to be filed by Jaju against her acquittal by the Madhya Pradesh High Court.

An Indore Bench of the High Court had recently acquitted the actress of the criminal intimidation charges levelled against her by Jaju, who alleged that Priyanka and her father Ashok Chopra, got him threatened with dire consequences through underworld don Chhota Shakeel over a financial dispute.

The dispute related to a payment of Rs 1.37 crore which Jaju claimed the actress owed to him; a figure disputed by Priyanka.

Following her acquittal by the High Court, Jaju decided to file an SLP in the apex court, prompting the actress to file a caveat.

Speaking to PTI, Narasimhan admitted that the caveat has been filed but expressed inability to give any details on the matter.

Her Supreme Court counsel Sudarsan Rajan also declined to give any information on the issue on the ground that he was under strict instructions not to speak to the media on the issue.

Bollywood's the best

Bollywood's the best
28 Aug 2007, 0000 hrs IST,PIALI DASGUPTA ,TNN

Hindi film biggies like Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra have said no to Hollywood offers. BT finds out why

Until recently, India's only export to Hollywood was Aishwarya Rai. Today, Hollywood's calling even smaller names like Koena Mitra, Celina Jaitley and Randeep Hooda to give their films an Indian twist.

But the charm of the west has waned considerably in the last few years for most desi stars. And it's not just the biggies like Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan; even Celina Jaitley has said no to Hollywood.

Hrithik's filmmaker father Rakesh Roshan says the Hollywood role didn't excite Hrithik enough. "Hrithik was offered a role in Pink Panther 2. The role was meaty, but he didn't like the script very much.

Mallika Sherawat is all set to replace Zeenat Aman

Mallika Sherawat is all set to replace Zeenat Aman in Feroz Khan’s Qurbani remake.

Feroz has apparently been searching for a heroine for a long time. Priyanka Chopra was reportedly considered for the role but was not finalized. Now, reports allege that Mallika has bagged the part.

In the film, Mallika will be paired with Fardeen Khan who plays the role enacted by his father in the original film.

Hunt is still on for another hero to play the role enacted by Vinod Khanna. Saif Ali Khan was initially finalized for the part, but the actor opted out of the project due to date problems.

However, this time Feroze Khan will not play the lead role of the suave thief Rajesh. Instead he will step into the shoes of the eccentric inspector Amjad Khan, played by late Amjad Khan.
