Priyanka-Akshay come together again to perform at a concert

For reasons best known to them Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra had stopped working together in spite of a string of successes together beginning with Suneel Darshan’s Andaaz and climaxing in Abbas-Mustan’s Aitraaz.

Thereafter, Priyanka was persuaded for mysterious reasons to move on to other leading men.

Akshay Kumar tried to form a lasting screen pair with Kareena Kapoor. But when that didn’t work too well (Talaash, Bewafaa, Tashan), he turned to Katrina Kaif for professional sustenance.

So deep was the cleft between the pair that Suneel Darshan had to scrap an Akshay-Priyanka starrer after a song featuring them.

But now it seems the ice has thawed. Akshay and Priyanka performed together on stage on Thursday for Christmas at the Convention Centre in Hong Kong for a show called ‘From Chandi Chowk To Hong Kong.’

Joining the pair was Bipasha Basu who was earlier scheduled to perform in Mumbai for New Year’s eve. And what a rollicking show it was! Audiences have been craving to see the hit jodi together for three years.

Here was their chance finally

“Yes, I performed on stage with Akshay Kumar in Hong Kong. It was great fun”, says Priyanka.

Priyanka’s first in Kaminey Movie

Priyanka Chopra has been around for a while but there are still a few firsts for the actress. It seems that the actress will be shooting for her first on-screen kiss in this movie, where she is paired opposite Shahid Kapur.

Kaminey which is directed by Vishal Bharadwaj, is scheduled for a release in March next year. The film has just completed a schedule in Mumbai. In the film, Priyanka plays a middlecalss Marathi girl, while Shahid plays a gambler, who cons people. His get up in the film is quite interesting as he sports long hair and stubble. The look was quite secret and Shahid did steer clear of cameras so that he could keep his look under wraps for a while. Incidentally, the single Shahid and the supposedly single Priyanka (she says she is not seeing Harman), are believed to have become very close while shooting for this film. Incidentally, both actors also live in the same building in the suburbs. Priyanka seems to be flying high these days. She is also believed to have been roped in by Yash Raj Films to do their next film, which will be directed by Jugal Hansraj. Uday Chopra will play the lead in this one.
