So who in Bollywood gets to secure Priyanka Chopra's newly-discovered stardom as a singer? Sources insist, she's being earnestly wooed to do the croon for both her underproduction films Krrish 3 and Zanjeer.
"But Priyanka can only sing in a single of those films. She told us she doesn't need to sing in too many films. She desires to lend her voice sparingly in films. She has told us she can be singing in exactly some of the two of her films which can be at the floors," said someone with reference to one of the most two underproduction projects.
At the instant the singer in Priyanka is being seduced by both the projects. Apparently, Rakesh and Hrithik Roshan with whom she shares a long-standing bonding over the Krrish franchise, have personally asked Priyanka to lend her voice to their film. However, Zanjeer's leading man Ramcharan who's now Priyanka's pal has also installed his request for Priyanka's voice.
In fact the Zanjeer makers are very keen to hit the market speedily to benefit from Priyanka's new international image of the actress-singer. The film is now being readied for an early May 2013 release, much prior to Krrish 3. Although the latter began shooting much earlier it releases much later in Diwali 2014.
Says a source, "The Zanjeer team could be very keen to have Priyanka sing within the film. However there are two hurdles. One is Priyanka's proximity to the Roshans which can prompt her to sing for Krrish 3 rather than Zanjeer. Also, she is under contract to not sing for any film until her international album is released. The Zanjeer team is hoping to be the early bird and catch her voice just in time for the film's release. But for that they'd need to get past Priyanka's emotional and moral commitment to singing for the Roshans. Because there is no way Priyanka would sing for both Krrish 3 and Zanjeer."
Priyanka Chopra's career as a world singer has taken off with the one 'In My City' which one hears is music to global ears. Bollywood's me-too brigade, not desirous to be left behind in anything that wows the West, has embraced her singing acumen. Suddenly there's a demand for her vocals in Bollywood.
Whether its the Roshans or the Zanjeer team who finally bag Priyanka's vocals is still seen.
