‘Players’ is not ‘Dhoom’, tells Jr. Bachchan!

Buzz has it that Abhishek Bachchan’s soon to be released movie, Players is a copy of Dhoom. However, Jr Bachchan denies these rumors saying that both the movies are from the same action genre, but are way too different.

While promoting his movie, Abhishek told, “Players and Dhoom are two different films – Dhoom was on cops-robbers faceoff and all the main characters in Players are thieves.”

Abhishek included, “However, the genre of both the films is the same. Both films are action-thrillers, but director-duo Abbas-Mustan has given a different treatment to Players.”

Priyanka Chopra speaks about her ‘Kaali’ avatar!

Priyanka Chopra’s role as Kaali is the soul in Agneepath. The actress plays the leading lady opposite Hrithik Roshan in their forthcoming film.

“The best thing about Kaali (her character in the film) is that she is Vijay’s strength. She is the soul, happiness and naughtiness in the film… So to prepare, I had to just follow Karan,” told Priyanka Chopra.

Priyanka plays a Maharashtrian girl. However, her character in the movie has no resemblance to that of Sweety in “Kaminey”.

“I was playing a Maharashtrian girl for the second time. When Karan Malhotra and I discussed the film, we were very clear that we have to try to keep this character as different as possible from my character of Sweety in ‘Kaminey’ because the personalities of both the girls are different.”

“Karan was very clear-minded about Kaali’s character. So, it was very easy for me,”

Agneepath releases on Jan 26. The film also sees Sanjay Dutt and Rishi Kapoor in key roles.

Bipasha Basu is unable to say lie!

Well, Bipasha tells that she is one horrible liar and always gets caught. Even when she is questioned about her personal life by the media, she cannot lie with a straight face. The actress wants to change this in the coming New Year.
