Actress Kangana Ranaut is confident about being pitched against Priyanka Chopra in Madhur Bhandarkar’s upcoming venture “Fashion”.
“Barring Anurag Basu’s ‘Metro’, most of my films have been solo-heroine films revolving around my character. This is the first time I’m co-starring with another actress. I’m not insecure about it. Why should I be? Priyanka and I have distinct personalities and that’s why Madhur has signed us to play the two very different characters,” Kangana said.
But Priyanka has a reputation of emerging as trumps whenever pitched against another actress like against Kareena Kapoor in “Aitraaz” and Lara Dutta in “Andaaz”.
“Good!” ripostes Kangana. “It’d be healthy competition. We’ll both do our best. A film shouldn’t be like a kabaddi competition.
“And moreover Priyanka is not one of those actresses who has catfights on the sets or walks off because…bhalaa uski kameez meri kameez se zyada safed kyon hai! She is very secure in her space as I am in mine. ‘Fashion’ is the first film I’ve signed in the last six months. I choose my roles according to what suits my personality.”
Bhandarkar must be the only filmmaker in the industry who casts for women’s parts before getting the guys in place.
For “Fashion” he first trotted to Priyanka, waited till she approved of the final draft before going to Kangana to play the other lead.

I think kangana is way ahead of priyanka in acting. She has immense talent which Priyanka just hasn’t acquired in all her years in Bolywood.
