Priyanka Turns Super Hero

Boom Crash Bang! Make way people….for here comes the superhero! For a change, this time, it’s not a he, it’s a she! The world knows her as Priyanka Chopra; the girl who has attempted almost everything that others can only dream of: Miss World, model, and now a movie star, without ever compromising on her Numero Uno position.

When others were running around the bushes romancing their ‘normal’ heroes, Priyanka went a step further to romance a superhero in Krrish, which was India’s answer to the likes of Superman and Batman.

And now, life has come a full circle for her, as ‘Virgin Comics’ has created a new superhero character after Priyanka, which will be furthered to comic books, animation and games.

Priyanka said that since she loves cartoons and animations, being able to create her own original superhero with Virgin's amazing group of artists and storytellers was ‘a dream come true’!

The superhero will be an adopted girl who discovers that she is the latest in the line of princesses with great mystical powers and a sworn duty to take down evil wherever it lurks.

The so-far untitled story is expected to have a 2008 launch, which will be further taken into animation games and even a theatrical live-action film! What remains to be seen is if this beauty will succeed in her animated duty.

Esha Deol turns 26 in Tirupati

Unlike other girls her age, Esha Deol didn't bring in her birthday at a passionate pub with her perky pals. "I'm in Tirupati with my mom, conversing with the Gods," she said on her 26 th birthday on Nov 2. "People see me as this carefree bindaas girl. But there's this other very quiet and religious side to me. I've these long conversations with God. So here I am, at Tirupati. What did I ask Him for? Doesn't everyone want something or the other from God?"

Right now Esha wants to change lanes in her career. "Enough of doing nothing in big-banner films. I've become selfish .I've recently learnt to say no. So I've been saying no to guys and to movies. I'm exercising the right to decline men and movies quite democratically. I've been turning down big banners because I had nothing to do in their films. I'd rather do the things that interest me instead of movies that misuse me."

Esha is now going back to a childhood passion. "I used to learn Russian ballet as a child. I think I'll pursue that again, and practice my Odissi dancing while I wait for good roles to come my way. Can you believe I've been around here for 5 ½ years! Have I changed? Yes! I used to be vulnerable and naïve. Now I'm a tough nut to crack. Let's see who finally cracks this nut," she laughs heartily.

So will Esha's guy be from outside the industry? "Why?" she shoots back. "My father is from the film industry. And he's the nicest guy I've ever met. So why not an industry guy for me? You never know."

Esha returned to Mumbai from Tirupati on the evening of her birthday. "For a quiet dinner with just close family and friends. That's the way I like it. I want to be alone with just the people who matter to me. I'm now getting settled in my space."

Preity Zinta - ‘Ness and I are happy together’

Media had been abuzz lately with stories of Preity Zinta and Ness Wadia heading for a splitville. There were rumours that Preity was shooting for Deepa Mehta’s film in Toronto and boyfriend Ness too had accompanied her to spend time with her. However since Deepa is a tough taskmaster, Preity hardly had time to spend with Ness and this apparently led to an argument between the couple. Sources claimed that after the showdown between Ness and Preity, an upset Ness returned to Mumbai and Preity was once again immersed with her shoot.

However, Preity terms the entire story as rubbish and says, “I don’t know where these stories originate from. A few months ago it was being said that Ness and I were getting married and now it’s being said that he and I have split.” Preity has always tried to keep her personal life in covers and was obviously upset with media intrusion into her relationships. So, was her curt reply when questioned about her relationship with Ness, “Ness and I are happy together, thank you very much.”

Katrina Kaif and I will make striking pair: Neil Mukesh


Katrina Kaif, who’s paired with Ranbir Kapoor in Raj Kumar Santoshi’s “Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani”, seems to be getting into the let’s-get-young mode.

She has now been signed to star opposite Neil Nitin Mukesh in Yash Raj banner’s next venture to be directed by Kabir Khan and the hero says they will make a good couple on screen.

“Kabir made a very unusual film ‘Kabul Express’ for Yash Raj earlier. This time he’s going all-out to make a commercial film. I think Katrina and I will make a striking pair,” Neil told IANS.

All her earlier films have been primarily with the 40-plus Salman Khan, Govinda and Akshay Kumar. Now she’s finally working with co-stars nearer her own age.

“I wouldn’t know about that. My bonding so far has been with John. I really get along with him. He’s so funny and entertaining. Somehow, he reminds me of Dharamji (Dharmendra) with whom I did my first film ‘Johnny Gaddar’. The same towering personality, physique and a heart of gold,” said Neil.

Let’s hope the initial camaraderie lasts through the film. Considering what happened to John’s friendship with Arshad Warsi during Khan’s “Kabul Express” one wonders if Neil would be singing the same tune by the time he and John finish shooting together.
