Priyanka slams Kareena

At a recent filmi do for the movie Pyaar Impossible which rumours suggest are inspired by the American television series Beauty & The Geek. But production house sources clearly deny this and say Uday Chopra has written the story himself), lead actress Priyanka Chopra (who plays the beauty) was asked by a mediaperson what she had to say about Kareena Kapoor claiming that she and Shahid Kapoor were using her name; just to get more mileage for their forthcoming film Kaminey. Cool as a cucumber (literally), PC dressed in a white sleeveless shirt didn’t bat her mascaraed eyelids as she said, “Kaminey is directed by the renowned filmmaker Vishal Bharadwaj; it is produced by an established film corporation; it has Shahid Kapoor in a double role; it has me playing a Maharashtrian woman and so on. It definitely doesn’t need anyone else or anything else to get it publicity. Thank you, but no thank you!” Definitely watch this space: the next cat fight is going to be between PC and KK, and their overzealous publicity machinery because as coincidence has it, Kambhakht Ishq (Kareena) and Kaminey (Priyanka) are scheduled to release a week away from each other in the month of August 2009. Of course, the multiplex strike could take these dates even further
