Priyanka Chopra ducks role with Akshay Kumar

Priyanka Chopra turned down a role in Blue, a slick action thriller being produced by Shree Ashtavinayak. The film features an ensemble cast that includes Akshay Kumar.

No one knows why Priyanka turned down the role but everyone believes it was because Akshay Kumar is in the film, making the actress appear like out of control nymphomaniac who would not be able to stop herself from devouring our action hero.

Priyanka, 25, was romantically linked by Mumbai tabloids with Akshay, 40, when they were on the set of their last film together Waqt: The Race Against Time (2005). Akshay is married to Twinkle Khanna, daughter of former Bollywood heartthrobs Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia. The couple has a 5-year-old son, Aarav.

Following reports of Akhsay's dalliance with Priyanka, Twinkle is said to have forbidden him to act in a film again with Priyanka or risk their marriage.

Anyway, that was gossip. Lets get back to Blue, an interesting film that will bring a lot of Hollywood to Mumbai - the director and entire crew of the film are from Hollywood.

The film is expected to feature a lot of action sequences including diving.

The cast additionally includes Sanjay Dutt, Lara Dutta, Katrina Kaif and Suniel Shetty.

Sanjay Dutt is working with Hollywood trainer Lawrence to acquire eight pack abs for the film which is scheduled to start filming in June.
