TELUGU
RAM CHARAN ISDARLING OF PRIYANKA CHOPRA:::::::

Priyanka Chopra, the 2000 Miss India World pageant

 winner, loved by millions of Indians as their own

 'Desi Gal', who is making her debut in Telugu eleven

 years after her Tamil debut Thamizhan blames on her

 busy schedules in Bollywood for being unable to

 scorch the Telugu screens. Interesting coincidence

 it is, the same film 'Zanjeer' aka 'Thoofan' has Ram

 Charan making his entry into Bollywood while the

 stunning beauty from Bollywood PC is making hers

 in Tollywood.

IndiaGlitz had a quick, to the point talk in which she

 was warm, forthcoming and all praise for her

 co-star Cherry, Director Apoorva Lakhia, her

 iconic character "Mala' and Jaya Bachchan who

 played the original in Zanjeer.

Debut in Tollywood, Finally...

I am very happy that I am finally making my debut in Telugu.

 after a decade though. Been busy with Hindi films

 whenever I got offers to do in Telugu. I am so excited

 to be entering into TFI with such a high voltage action

 drama as 'Thoofan'

Not Exactly The Same 'Mala' Of 1973

At the outset, I would like to thank Jayaji for her portrayal

 of the street girl 'Chaku Choori Wali' Mala and the

 iconic manner in which she played the role. Coming

 to the new version, Apoorva did considerable changes

 to the character starting with my own background.

 I am a New York based girl visiting India for marriage,

 seeing a murder happening in front of her own eyes,

 meeting ACP Vijay Khanna and falling into the deep trouble.

 She never returns to the US any more.

Remembering my lines in Telugu was a huge issue

The problem was with Mala, who is so talkative and

 it was okay in Hindi, I could depend on dubbing but

 in Telugu it was a nightmare remembering my lines

 by heart. Not just mine but I should also understand 

and remember others' lines to emote and respond

 while they are speaking. Ram helped me a lot in this

 regard and I thank him.

Ram is a darling co-star

Ram is a wonderful co-actor and his performance is driven

 by an enormous passion and it was hard to compete with

 him in certain emotional scenes. I can confidently say that

 he is going to hit it with his first film in Bollywood.

Director Apoorva is a perfectionist

Apoorva Lakhia is a director with clarity. Does everything

 with utmost perfection and you know how daring he has

 to be to have attempting Amitabh's Zanjeer. And he

 didn't do a shot by shot remake. He customized the

 story to current times, designed a new movie altogether,

 envisioned a completely new product for a budding hero

 doing an iconic character and made the film. He did a

 commendable job of it and I am sure everyone will talk

 about him after the release of Zanjeer.

Audio Is Cool

This is one of the sweetest albums of recent times

 with all the sound tracks hummable and foot-tappable.

 For me, I loved my song 'Pinky' a lot and can see me

 humming it all the day.

Thoofan Movie A Must Watch

Thoofan has all fantastic actors like Ram Charan, 

Sri Hari, Prakash raj, Tanikella Bharani and of course

 myself reliving famous characters, Apoorva Lakhia's

 direction, Dance moves by Ram, and even Mahi Gill's

 item song... Everything will entertain you and I am 

sure you'd cruise with us in a nostalgia yet surrounded

 by high voltage action episodes of today's standards.

 Come, watch the movie on the 6th September.
