Then comes Love Story 2050 where a reported 60 crore rupees are being lavished on getting the spectacle in place.
And now Priyanka has signed one more film which is expected to have the best special effects available from the world.
Says the busy actress, "I got lots of offers. But I haven't signed anything except Goldie Behl's Drona with Abhishek Bachchan. Like Krissh, 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 Bluff Master I get to work with Abhishek Bachchan again. He's quite mad."
On Sunday Priyanka was traveling between Delhi and Jaipur by the 'Blue Billion' Express with Shah Rukh for the England-India match. "We're going to flag off our team and hope they win. I'll do my best to serve as a distraction for the English team."
Priyanka is jet-lagged. She's tired but as spirited as ever. She has just returned from Adelaide (Australia) after shooting for Harry Baweja's Love Story 2050. "The Premiere of Australia 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. I didn't miss home that much... my parents were in the US for Dad's surgery and my Bua was with one. My brother was the only one in Mumbai. And I panicked when he had to be hospitalized for a viral fever. I wanted to fly back home...There was just no time to do so."
She brightens 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 Krissh. "They're two entirely different films. Krissh was about a super-hero in the present. Love Story 2050 is about a normal guy going into the future. This has never been done before. It gives a lot of performing scope to Harman, and even to me. But more for him. It's his baby. And I'm doing my first double role. I move into two time spectrums."
Priyanka's styling is a special treat in Love Story 2050. "Styling is important. Earlier I wasn't so finicky about styling, though I was never careless. But I realize looking good is all-important for a leading lady."
She's all praise for her co-star Harman Baweja's professionalism. "I'm his senior career-wise. But he knows much more about cinema than I do. Don't forget, he has been assisting his dad for some years. He became a producer at 21. He's far more knowledgable about cinema than me. In fact I took a lot of technical advice and learnt about camera angles from Harman."
Right now Priyanka is as nervous as hell about Don. "It's a very different character. To try and step into Zeenat Aman's shoes is scary. I didn't even try to fit into her shoes. I instead made my own shoes. I play a tough chick. Doing all my stunts was fun and challenging. We tried to give a very different look to my character Roma."
She's all praise for Shah Rukh Khan and her director Farhan Akhtar. "Farhan knew exactly what he wanted, and how to get it. He'd let me say and do what I wanted to. But at the same time he kept a tight check on proceedings.
As for Shah Rukh....I've been his fan forever. So you can imagine what it was like to work with him. he's one of the most unselfish co-stars I've ever worked with. He makes you so comfortable. He puts the film above everything else. Just watching him at work is a treat.
Some of your co-stars can be very selfish on the sets. And that's sad. Shah Rukh realizes that the film needs to work before a performance can."
She disagrees that there's more competition among women. "Even the male co-stars are very competitive...I've only one scene with Kareena in Don. Our interaction in Aitraaz was different. Here Bebo is doing a special appearance for us. That was sweet of her. And she's done a fantastic job."
Priyanka sees show crucial Don is to her career. "If you're trying to make me more nervous you're doing a very good job of it. Look, no one can replace Zeenatji. I haven't even tried. I did it my way."
She's waiting for the release of Don before signing anything new.
More assignments? "The right assignments haven't come my way....The past year has been turbulent. Now everything is getting back to normal. I want Don to be seen not as an attempt to be one-up on the earlierDon. But a tribute."
