What are you playing in the film?
I play an aspiring model, who is trying to make it big in Mumbai. She is saddled with a boyfriend who is a cocaine addict, and how she copes with him and her dreams is an important aspect of the film.

Priyanka Chopra to take part in prostitute in Agneepath remake
“All I can say at the moment is that my Agneepath is radically different from the Agneepath that my father has produced. We’ve completely done away with the South Indian character played by Mithun Chakraborty in the original. My father was very proud of Agneepath. I hope I don’t let him down with mine.
Amitji (Amitbah Bachchan) had won the National Award for the film. It’s a tough act to follow for any actor.”Apparently the original script had a major makeover to make it more appealing to today’s youth. Priyanka’s character will be called Kaali.

As per reports, Aamir wasn’t the first choice for Reema Kagti, who thought of approaching other Khans before offering the role to Aamir.
Confirming the reports, a source told a daily, Reema Kagti took their script to Salman Khan first. He turned it down. Well, these two women then went to Saif say rumours. He too refused it.”However when they contacted Aamir with the similar, he not only accepted the film but also spoke about the immense Box Office potential the project holds.
Definitely Aamir`s understanding of movies is better than that of Salman and Saif because he has a better track record in the last 22 years than the two other Khans. Well, looks like Salman and Saif definitely lost this one!
