Priyanka sports a new look in ‘Drona’


Apart from the rave reviews received after the first promos of Goldie Behl’s ‘Drona’, India’s first mega-budget fantasy-action flick went on air; it is Priyanka Chopra, the film’s lead actress who is being much talked about. Her different look in the film has caught every cine-goer’s attention. Her outfit designed by Anaita Shroff and make-up by Mickey Contractor, Piggy Chops, as fondly called by co-star Abhishek Bachchan, joins ranks with Bollywood action star with Akshay Kumar in making the turban look fashionable.

As a warrior in the film, she was required to wear a turban but didn’t want a complete Indian look so she has used leather texture. The outfit is made of chiffon and there is a waist-coat too.

The red-haired beauty of the recently released ‘Love Story 2050’ had to do action scenes and therefore studied the Sikh form of martial arts Gatka for the role. She fights with two daggers in the film. However, the audience’ reaction to her fight sequence atop of running train moving at 70 kmph and doing somersaults from one compartment to another is what the leggy actress is desperately waiting for.

‘Drona’ is slated for release on October 2.
