Priyanka Chopra: 100 crores is a huge pressure


Other than Akshay Kumar, if Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra has had a hit equation at the Box-office then it’s with ‘superhero’ of Bollywood Hrithik Roshan! Every time Priyanka paired up with Hrithik, she only delivered a hit! Though she has worked with Hrithik in two films KRRISH and AGNEEPATH and third being KRRISH 3, sequel of KRRISH & KOI MIL GAYA, trade is gung-ho about this pairing, as their films have done well at the ticket window. Considering this fact, all eyes are now set on upcoming film KRRISH 3 to do some record-breaking business, which is a fad these days.

However, the ‘exotic’ actress, who has already scored a hattrick in the 100 crore club with the films like AGNEEPATH (around 124 crores), BARFI! (around 107 crores), DON 2 (around 110 crores), still gets jumpy and feels pressurized by the ‘100 crore’ funda! She says uninhibitedly, ”100 crores is a huge pressure…this is all media created.”

She further comments on the current 100 crore fever, ”The 100 crore club thing works in the case of big-budgeted films. The comparisons and estimations are fine with those films. But asking small-budget or small scale films or the films which are not meant to be in that category that will it make 100 crores and all is silly and unfair. Because every film is made with different agenda, with different purpose and on a different scale. Every film may not be necessarily made for making huge monies. See it all depends. For e.g. if a film is made on a shoestring budget of 10-15 crores and if it collects 25-30 crores & plus then it’s still counted as superhit but agar aapne 100 crores ki film banayi hai aur 110 crores earn kiye hai toh woh hit film nahi hai (if the costing of your film is 100 crores and you make 110 crores then in that case it’s not a hit). But sadly, we don’t write about it or go ahead and explain it clearly.”

When we probed Priyanka about her expectations with KRRISH 3, she said, ”I hope so. KRRISH 3 should be at least a superhit. Because I think KRRISH 3 is kind of film which in itself is a unique genre. We, in India, never do that many sci-fi films, especially at the level of KRRISH 3 and Rakesh Roshan has been pioneer in doing it.”

About her pairing with Hrithik she quips, ”If you see I have only worked with Hrithik in my entire career…When I did KRRISH with Hrithik I was just 1-2 year old in the industry and it took some 2.5 yrs to complete. Then I did AGNEEPATH with Hrithik, which again took 2-3 yrs to arrive. And now KRRISH 3 took almost 3.5 yrs in the making. So in my entire 10 year career, it feels I have worked maximum with Hrithik only.

Also starring Vivek Oberoi and Kangana Ranaut, KRRISH 3, directed by Rakesh Roshan, is set to hit the screens on November 1st, 2013.
