After Munni, Sheila and Jalebi its Priyanka Chopra

At last Priyanka Chopra has also changed her decision to never do an item number, she would follow Sheila and Munni in a glamorous dance in Priyadarshan’s forthcoming film Tezz on a number scored by Sajid-Wajid.

Seductive gyration is now a compulsory recipe of bollywood films. Earlier, she had announced that she’d never join the item number bandwagon. Changing mind won’t help the actress in anyway except making a few more bucks.

Priyanka Chopra, already has many a sexy number under her belt. In past she has done a sexy song in Aitraaz – “Touch Me Baby” Also,an item number with Shah Rukh Khan in Billu. PC has a glamorous image and has been getting good dance numbers so deviation to solo items was not desired.

But, now media reports claim that Priyanka has shown keen interest in the item song as well. The dance in Tezz would be shot in Mumbai. A special set will be created to make this item number more bigger and better than Munni of Dabangg and Tees Maar Khan’s Sheila.

If lyrics are catchy and music is dancy, PC is no inferior to Malaika, Mallika or Katrina. So after Munni, Sheila and Jalebi its PC’s number to glue the audience. Anil Kapoor, Ajay Devgan and Kangna Ranaut are in the lead role of Tezz.

Can Kangana Ranaut Knock Out competition?

New age tragedy queen Kangana Ranaut is in the lead role in the “Knock Out Movie” opposite Sanjay Dutt. With this fast paced thriller the pair directed by Mani Shankar plans to create an euphoria like Sunny Deol films.


In a very small career on silver screen Kangana has won prestigious Filmfare and National Film Award. She made her Bollywood debut in 2006 with Mahesh Bhatt film Gangster. The film was a commercially successful and her performance was also applauded. For this film she got two Filmfare awards for Best Female Debut and Fairever Fresh Face. She was adjudged best debut actress by Zee Cine Award, Stardust and IIFA.

Hence, her career started to roll further. Two years later in 2008 she won National Film Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as a troubled model in Fashion. The film theme was around the dark side of the fashion world. Ranaut's portrayal of a supermodel who loses everything on drug abuse gained her widespread praise.

She was born in a small town called Bhambla in Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh. Her family lives in Mandi. Before joining films Kangana took essential training for Kathak dance and modelling in Delhi. She even joined Asha Chandra's three-month course in 2004 to brush herself to face camera.

"It's been quite a journey...I came to the industry when I was just 17 with no real idea of what to expect. I was fortunate that 'Gangster' was a huge hit at the box office. I won a lot of awards and the industry gave me another chance. Otherwise, Bollywood is an industry that's very unforgiving towards outsiders," said Kangana to a magazine.

The path ahead for her is promising but not easy. The media reports rumour about her troubled relations with Salman and Aditya Pancholi in past. But she is entrepreneur by nature and harbours a dream of directing a film for which she already has a script in mind. She has designed the clothes for her upcoming movies 'Rascals' and 'Tezz'. Other upcoming films of her are : 'Dum Maaro Dum', 'Game', and 'No Problem'

So far, Kangna has got applauds from critics for the performance in 'Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai', 'Fashion', 'Life In A... Metro' and 'Gangster'. Some of the critics find the glimpses of legendary actress Meenakumari in her. Kangana considers Madhubala, Angelina Jolie and Parveen Babi as her role models.

Katrina Kaif at top in 2009

The rat race of number 1 position in bollywood saw Katrina Kaif running ahead of Kareena. Dipika and Priyanka were left far behind.

***** ****

The year 2009 was of Katrina Kaif, who topped the popularity list amongst not only bollywood actresses but all celebrities from India. The lady luck showered on her with great success on the box office thus leaving no doubt on the number one position. Dipika and Kareena were left far behind this year.

Voted as the sexiest lady in Bollywood, she made pair with Akshay Kumar in De Dana Dan and saved him from total wash out on Box Office. In Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani director Rajkumar Santoshi put her opposite to Ranbir Kapoor, the chocolate hero. Not so well made film did good business thanks to the craze for this cute and young pair. Probably it was the best pair of the year.

Though all is not well between John and Katrina’s boyfriend, Salman Khan, it did not affect their onscreen chemistry in New York, a film on the back ground of terrorism. Katrina Kaif was there only as a filler.

Zero size waste fame Kareena Kapoor continued to be in lime light, but box office did not favour her much. She had two hits this year - Kambakhht Ishq and 3 Idiots released close to the year end. Much hyped Kurbaan flopped though critics had penned favourable reviews for Saif and Kareena. Main aur Mrs. Khanna was another big flop of the year.

Kareena’s old mate Shahid made an interesting pair with as Priyanka Chopra in Kaminey. The film had average business. It had more publicity due to the wet and wild poses of the pair on the internet. But the other film What's Your Rashee bombed. The actress was hoping high from this film.

Bipasha Basu had an average year with fifty percent success rate. While her diwali release movie All the Best rocked the box office, thriller Aa Dekhein Zara was turned down by one and all.

Deepika Padukone was rated as most promising face for this year in the beginning. Her pair opposite Akshay Kumar in Chandni Chowk was considered to be hot, but the film failed to attract business. In Imtiyaz Ali’s Love Aaj Kal she gave supper performance opposite Saif Ali Khan. The movie was a super hit. So she had a super hit and other super flop in her account.

Vidya Balan the homely face was praised for her performance in Paa. She played role of mother of Auro (Amitabh Bachchan), who suffers from Progeria. This was the solo release of her.

Lara Dutta was publicized more for her perfect bikini body than the performance. She had two releases Blue and Do Knot Disturb and both flopped. Mughda Godse, Kangana Ranaut and Asin were also some time in publicity but failed to give moments to remember.
