No similarity between Heroine and Kohli's film: PC

Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra has outrightly denied any similarities between Kunal Kohli's next film, in which she features opposite Shahid Kapoor, and Madhur Bhandarkar's much-in-the-news Heroine.

Following a news report that drew a comparison between the two movies, a furious Priyanka took to Twitter, and posted: "Woke up this morning to an amazing piece of fiction... a news story that says my role in Kunal's film is similar to that of Heroine. What a fertile imagination!!! There was no verification made with anyone before they made this resounding conclusion."

While Heroine, Bhandarkar's most ambitious project, takes a behind-the-scenes look at the life and times of a successful Bollywood actress, Kohli's untitled film will reportedly have Priyanka and Shahid play four sets of characters each.

One of those characters will be set in the 1960s, as suggested by an image where Priyanka was seen in a pink fish cut lehenga, a short blouse and Mumtaz-style draped dupatta, with a classic bouffant hairdo.

"Ours is a love story... where is the connect? What say @kunalkohli?" she added.

Kohli too gave his inputs to refute the news.

"Well said @priyankachopra, no one asked us anything,they just printed a baseless story. There's no similarity between the films," posted the filmmaker.

Priyanka, who was recently rumoured to be replacing Aishwarya Rai in Heroine, says she doesn't like being drawn into controversies.

"I don't appreciate being used to create unwarranted controversy with baseless information... unacceptable!" added the 29-year-old.

Shahid Priyanka to come together for a period film

Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra have been roped in by filmmaker Kunal Kohli for his upcoming film which is based on 100 years of love.

Kunal stated “A period love story needs to have the correct title. I haven’t finalized on any as yet. I would love some suggestions; it would certainly make it easier for me.”

He added “I am currently doing a recce for the film. We have to zero down on various locations, as the movie covers 100 years.”

The title of this love story has not yet been finalized. In the film the duo will be seen in various getups. Shahid and Priyanka were earlier seen together in “Kaminey”.

Kunal Kohli’s upcoming untitled film will go on floors this May. Hope the duo can create the same magic once again which they had created in “Kaminey”
