Priyanka Chopra skips Zanjeer event in Hyderabad for Ram Leela

                                                            Priyanka Chopra

While there have been reports of Priyanka Chopra being miffed with her Zanjeer co-star Ramcharan Teja for apparently showing up late for their promotional event, the truth is, Ms Chopra too is very busy, too busy to even attend the massive music release function of Thoofan, the Telugu version of Zanjeer on Wednesday in Hyderabad.

A source from Hyderabad says, "We were very surprised when PC didn't show up in Hyderabad. It was very big day for the Telugu Zanjeer and also for Ramcharan Teja's wife Upasana. Her family's Apollo chain of hospitals turned 25 years old on Wednesday. First there was a grand event at the Novotel hotel for the Apollo parivaar where Upasana's grandfather who founded the Apollo chain was present. This was followed by the Thoofan music release at which all of Ramcharan's directors so far (he has done only 4 Telugu films) came on stage to wish him all the best."

Priyanka, we hear from Hyderabad, was to appear at both the events in Hyderabad on Wednesday. Instead she was seen in Mumbai on Wednesday evening walking the ramp for Neeta Ambani.

When asked about conspicuous absence in Hyderabad, Zanjeer director Apoorva Lakhia defended his heroine stoutly. "PC has been co-operation personified. She has been promoting Zanjeer and Thoofan, and shooting for her song in Ram Leela. The reason she didn't show up in Hyderabad was because she attended a fashion event in Mumbai for our Zanjeer producers (Reliance). And she sent a video message for our music function in Hyderabad which was beamed on every channel on Andhra Pradesh."

Regarding reports that Ramcharan pissed off  Priyanka by showing up late for Zanjeer events, a source from the Zanjeer team informs, "Yes. Ramcharan did show up more than an hour late for an event last week at the Mithibhai College in Mumbai. But that was because his driver got into a verbal scuffle. Ramcharan apologized to Priyanka and she was just fine with it. Now someone wants to portray Ramcharan as non-punctual and indisciplined on the eve of his Hindi release then what can we do? The truth is he is as driven, committed and punctual as PC."

Chief Guest for Toofan audio launch revealed

                 Chief Guest for Toofan audio launch revealed


The biggest doubt among everyone is nothing but who would be the chief guest for the audio launch of 'Toofan' as it is ample clear that Chiranjeevi willn't be gracing the function because of ongoing agitations in the state and Pawan Kalyan isn't keen on attending such film related events. Offering a pleasant surprise to everyone, Venkatesh has stepped into the venue as the guest of honor to the show.

Chiru has made a right move by picking up Venky as a chief guest as he is the one who is always seen with positive energy and his presence will surely have a good impact. Eventually, this move will highlight the bond between Mega and Daggubati families and strength the reports of Venky-Charan multi-starrer.

By the time Venkatesh got into the auditorium, Allu Aravind began his speech and went on to say 'Toofan' has got a speciality. "The speciality of 'Toofan' is that it was made simultaneously in both Hindi and Telugu. It is the first of its kind movie in India to collect over Rs 100 crore at Box Office. I have seen Director Apoorva Lakhia's work and he has put in a lot of effort for this film. I can't speak about Charan? (family member). I wish all of them who worked for the movie a grand success," he said.
