When Priyanka excited, What was she thinking?
The promotional song `Mumbai Ka Hero' for Apoorva Lakhia's `Zanjeer' is out. In the song, Priyanka Chopra, dressed in khaki hot pants and a tight shirt is slithering all over Ram Charan suggestively and mouthing the following lewd words: `Oh My God, Is That Your Gun? Can I Hold It Please?' Instant recall of classic Mae West dialogue from She Done Him Wrong, `Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?' Yes, thist one is cheesy, the other classy.
What was Priyanka thinking while shooting the song and uttering the suggestive words? Or did she not get the double-meaning in the `Mumbai Ka Hero?' 'Oh I am sure she got it,' says a director who has worked with the actress. 'Come on, PC is just having fun with that song. Why not see it as ditsy spoof on those wide-eyed blonde videos?'
In one of the shots in the song, PC and Cherry are facing each other and he holds out the gun in front of him, pointing downwards. Priyanka holds the gun, and goes down on her knees. It's enough to `blow' your mind.
Wonder if such phallic references would be accepted by the audiences in the spirit of fun. Recently the buxom starlet in the trailer of Grand Masti tells Vivek Oberoi, 'I own two milk factories. If you wish I can give you their darshan in the night.'
While that is fine in a sex comedy (one doesn't really expect the makers of a sex comedy to show any kind of social responsibility) one does ex pect PC with her high-credibility level as an actress and an individual to steer clear of such lewd lyrics.
Jumping to her defence, one of her cur rent directors says, 'Priyanka is doing too many se rious films like Barfi and Mary Kom. She has to bring out the lighter fun side of her personality.'
