But he admits, he’s relieved to finally be doing a lead role again, in the kind of film that the Deols hold as a special forte —-you guessed it, action. He is playing the lead in ‘Ek – The Power of One’, which releases this week. “I liked the way the film was shot and it has an interesting story line,” says Deol, at The Oberoi coffee shop in Delhi.

Priyanka goes plain for Kaminay

She donned trendy mini skirts and a bikini in Dostana and was an absolute stunner on the ramp in Fashion, but Priyanka Chopra is going the de-glam way for Vishal Bharadwaj’s Kaminay.

How do you explain the fact that Abhishek Bachchan’s next three films all have titles beginning with the letter ‘D’ – Drona, followed by Dostana and Delhi 6.
How do you explain the fact that last month Madhavan was shooting for two films simultaneously both beginning with the number ’3′ – 3 Patti and 3 Idiots.
