Mumbai — Priyanka Chopra’s latest film “Zanjeer” and her cousin, actress Parineeti Chopra’s romantic-comedy “Shuddh Desi Romance” are set to clash at the box office Sept. 6 – but the Desi Girl is unfazed and calls it a ‘Chopra weekend.’
“The way I see it, it’s a Chopra weekend. So go and enjoy the movies,” Priyanka told reporters in Mumbai Wednesday, while promoting Disney’s animation film “Planes,” for which she has lent her voice.
“She (Parineeti) is my family and she is my sister,” she added.
Produced by Amit Mehra and directed by Apoorva Lakhia, “Zanjeer” is a remake of the 1973 film of the same name and features southern star Ram Charan Teja with Priyanka.
On the other hand, “Shuddh Desi Romance” features Parineeti with Sushant Singh Rajput and Rishi Kapoor in the lead role.
“I think it is very cheap when people try and use that (same day release of our films) for creating some sort of interesting controversy, so that you can write a bit more about it,” the 31-year-old said.
Meanwhile, Parineeti, who is busy promoting her film, is also unfazed by it and is looking forward to watching “Zanjeer”.
“It’s just happens that her (Priyanka) film and my film are releasing together, but it doesn’t affect us. I will watch her picture and she will watch mine and you all will watch both the films,” she said.
“Shuddh Desi Romance,” directed by Maneesh Sharma and produced by Aditya Chopra, also features newcomer Vaani Kapoor.
