Promo War

It seems to have started. The accusations. Even before Madhur Bhandarkar's latest film, Fashion can be released, actress Kangna Ranaut is already said to be very miffed at the manner in which is being ignored in the film's promos and posters. Apparently, she has taken umbrage at certain posters which do not feature her at all. However, there are enough posters which feature her along with Priyanka and Mugdha.

Bhandarkar's film features Priyanka, Kangna and Mugdha in prominent roles. But it seems that Kangna feels that Priyanka Chopra is walking away with all the publicity. Kangana, who has delivered a knock out performance in films like Gangster, Woh Lamhe and A Life In A Metro, also has big films like Rakesh Roshan's next in her kitty. That film is being directed by her mentor Anuraag Basu and has her cast opposite Hrithik Roshan. Hence, it is natural for the actress to feel miffed. Even though Priyanka is the bigger actress, she has only duds like Love Story 2050, Drona and God Tussi Great Ho to her credit this year. Priyanka will definitely be counting on Bhandarkar's film and Tarun Masukhani's Dostana to giver her that much needed hit. But like we said, it seems that the accusations have started. One wonders how Madhur or Priyanka intend to react to it. The film is due for release on the Diwali week, along with EMI and Golmaal Returns. Another film, whose promos are making waves, is the Karz remake, Karzzzzz, starring Himesh Reshammiya and Urmila Matondkar. Incidentally, both the posters of Karzzzzz and Fashion have women sporting huge glares in the background Urmila in one and Priyanka in the other. What ever happened to creativity?
