Priyanka's affinity with special effects films
Subhash K. Jha - 10/22/2006
Mumbai, Oct 22 (IANS) Priyanka seems to share a strange affinity with F-X films in Bollywood. First "Krrish", which introduced a new spectrum of special effects in Hindi films, and now "Don" where the F-X according to her is "top of the line".
Priyanka told IANS in an interview: "I got lots of offers. But I haven't signed anything except Goldie Behl's 'Drona' with Abhishek Bachchan. Like 'Krrish', 'Don' and 'Love Story 2050', this one too will have loads of special effects.
"I'm very excited about it. It's going to be like a comic book on screen.
And after 'Bluffmaster', I get to work with Abhishek again. He's quite mad."
In "Love Story 2050" Rs.600 million is being reportedly set aside for a special effects spectacle.
Priyanka, who has just returned from Adelaide after shooting for Harry Baweja's "Love Story 2050", is tired but as spirited as ever.
"The Australian premier and his wife had come to wish us luck and they both made an appearance in the film just like that. We shot for a month-and-a-half there.
"I didn't miss home that much - my parents were in the US for dad's surgery. My brother was the only one in Mumbai. I panicked when he had to be hospitalised for viral fever. I wanted to fly back home. There was just no time to do so."
She brightened up at the memory of the Australian sojourn.
"I really enjoyed myself. The first-half, which is based in Australia, is done. Now, we move to the second-half in November. I'm very excited about this because a futuristic sci-fi film, and that too on this scale, has never been done in our cinema."
She cuts down all comparisons with "Krrish".
