Priyanka Chopra high on demand
Former Miss World and Bollywood Actress Priyanka Chopra is on a roll these days. Though she hasn't had any major releases thus far, she has a lot to look forward to. The most important of course, being Love Story 2050. But the latest is that this actress, who has quite a few big films in her kitty, has bagged Vidhu Vinod Chopra's Talisman.

The actress, who was recently called one of the sexiest actresses by co star Hrithik Roshan, already has Ashutosh Gowariker's next in her bag. Though she has not had any releases thus far, there are quite a few of her films which are up for release later this year, like Dostana, Drona, God Tussi Great Ho and Madhur Bhandarkar's Fashion. But the story doing the rounds is that the actress turned down Farhan Akhtar's next only so that she could allot dates to Chopra's next, to be directed by Ram Madhvani. The Talisman is said to be based on the novel Chandrakanta and Amitabh Bachchan has already been finalized for the film. Some more actors are expected to be finalised soon for this fantasy thriller.

Enough Buzz about Love Story 2050
Love Story 2050 is said to be first of its kind in bollywood as sci-fi has been too much used to create buzz about the film.
And Harry Baweja has spent sleepless nights to get the right look for his sci-fi movie. And going by the buzz the first look of his film's leads – son Harman Baweja and Priyanka Chopra – has created, his efforts seem to have paid off, at least till the film releases.

Priyanka Chopra sports a rather unusual red hair and carries a pink teddy sporting a blue mohawk hairdo. Harman's look is complete in a well-fitted, leather-like tee and pants along with heavy boots and biking gloves. And all the fashion prediction is the brainchild of designer Thea.

"We spent more than six months trying to figure out the right look. The idea was to give them a look that people could imagine and relate to in the future. We didn't want them resembling aliens or looking as if they've landed from Star Trek. The film is set in the future, but it's not about space travel," says Baweja senior.

Only the time can say what sci-fi effect comes to the audience after the movie hits the silver screen.
