Priyamani and Priyadarshan
- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,July 28 2010]
Contrary to media reports, Priyamani is not going to be the heroine of PriyadarshanÂs forthcoming venture ÂThe Bullet TrainÂ. Instead, she has been replaced by Kangna Ranaut, the ÂDhaam Dhoom girl, claim sources in the know.
It is said that producer of the film Ratan Jain of ÂDe Dana Dan fame was specific about a well-known Bollywood actress playing the role as a result of which Kangna Ranaut has become the final choice.
However, circles close to Priyamani reportedly maintained that the actress had never been approached for the role. It is to be noted that PriyamaniÂs relative Vidya Balan was the first choice. However, she had to get down from ÂThe Bullet Train as she could not adjust her dates.
Meanwhile, Priyamani has expressed her wish to share the screen space with Bollywood biggie Salman Khan, in a sequel to ÂWantedÂ. Reacting to reports that she will be part of ÂWanted-IIÂ, the dusky beauty said, ÂNo one connected with Wanted-II has approached me so far. But I may not deny an offer to act with Sallu bhai.Â
Remember the actress is now doing ÂRaktha CharithraÂ, a trilingual directed by Ram Gopal Varma. On her last release ÂRaavananÂ, directed by Mani Ratnam, she said, ÂIt is not an ordinary thing to act in a Mani sirÂs film. He is such a genius who knows even the minute details of filmmaking. I am privileged.Â
