Currently topping the list of producer`s favourites is none other than former beauty queen Priyanka Chopra. The way things seem to be heading, Priyanka should collect tons of praise for her role in Anil Sharma`s The Hero, much as Amisha did in his Gadar.

Says Sharma, "She looks equally good in Western and Indian outfits. I`m sure she`ll make a mark with the kind of talent she has." And it`s not only Anil Sharma who is talking highly about Priyanka. Suneel Darshan, the director of Andaz is also lavish in his praise. Andaz, in which Priyanka stars along with Akshay Kumar and Lara Dutta, will be the beauty queen`s first film to hit the screens. "Priyanka is not only beautiful and intelligent but also has an amazing screen presence," quips Darshan.

K.C.Bokadia, the producer of her film Ek Haseena Ek Deewana with Govinda, is on a different trip. "What I like more about her is her professional approach. She is very quick with her work and hence I have managed to complete my film very fast."
