Priyanka’s following Akshay’s footsteps

She replaced him as host of ‘Fear Factor’, and now as Levi’s brand ambassador

Ask Priyanka Chopra, who replaces Akshay Kumar as a brand ambassador of Levi's and even as the host of the reality show "Fear Factor - Khatron Ke Khiladi'", about it, and she describes it as a sheer coincidence.

"I would say it's a complete coincidence," said Priyanka who is looking forward to hosting the adventure reality show. "I am very excited about 'Khatron Ke Khiladi' because it's a perfect show for me. I have seen its last two seasons. It was one of my favourite shows. It would be so much fun to actually host the show."

Priyanka has also just started shooting for director Vishal Bharadwaj's ‘Saat Khoon Maaf’ and says it will be a different movie.

"It's too early to speak about 'Saat Khoon Maaf' but it will be a very unique film for sure," Priyanka told reporters after launching the denim brand Levi's Change your World campaign.

Commenting upon the reports that she rejected Hollywood offers for ‘Saat Khoon Maaf’, she said: "I can associate only with the film I am committed to and I was committed to Vishal Bharadwaj...."

And Priyanka was more than happy to collaborate with Bharadwaj again after ‘Kaminey’.

"To work with Vishal again is a great opportunity because I think he is one of India's most celebrated filmmakers. He has shown confidence in me, so I feel a bit nervous and anxious as well."

Based on Ruskin Bond's story ‘Susanna's Seven Husbands’ about a femme fatale who bumps off her seven spouses, ‘Saat Khoon Maaf’ also stars Naseeruddin Shah, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Irrfan Khan.
