Fwd: [NEW CINE BUZZ] I'm extremely fond of Priyanka: Shah Rukh Khan

Their chemistry is crackling on and off screen. And their mutual admiration for one another is to be heard, seen and witnessed to be believed. BT catches Don2 co-stars Priyanka Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan in candid confession mode...

Your character Roma in Don2 hates to love him; isn't that so? PC: I am a cop in Don2, whose mission is to catch Don. But you are right. Though I am supposed to despise him, I feel inexorably drawn to him. There is a strange bond, which I don't think even Roma (my character) understands. There is intrigue and a latent chemistry in our screen equation.

SRK, you call her a jungli billi in one dialogue. Is she like that? SRK: She is my tame rat. PC: I'm not a rat, and I'm certainly not tame. PC: Please find a better-looking animal to compare me to. SRK: Ok, she is my tame rabbit. Look, I am extremely, extremely, extremely fond of her and I have a huge amount of genuine love and respect for her talent. She is really talented as an actor and I am not saying it because she is sitting here. I like learning from actors who know more than me; Priyanka is one of them. She is one of those actors who knows more than me in her own way. But she is not over-smart. She knows everything; yet there is a naivete about her that I find endearing and interesting. Sometimes I feel a little bad that I'm treating her so badly in Don2. PC: Shah Rukh, you are just basically patronising, that is a personality trait and you cannot help it. Ok guys, I'm supposed to be really tough in Don2. And even after I have given a really tough shot, SRK comes up to me and says: 'Oh she is so cute.' How will I ever be able to be tough after that? SRK: I've seen you when you were 19. PC: No, when I was 17. SRK: Ok 17; that's why I think of you with a huge amount of fondness. You are sweet even when you try to be tough. And I found it cute in the scene where I get arrested and you put handcuffs on me. Remember I said, "Oh, kinky!' and you said, 'Iski aadat daal lo, Don.' I found that so cute. PC: There you go again!

Is there 'kinky' stuff? SRK: Of course not. Incidentally, I have still not done a full-fledged man-woman kind of romantic film, social film or drama with her. I hope someone comes up with a nice, gentle film giving the two of us a little more scope for boy-girl, man-woman type of relationship. It will be wonderful. Don is a thriller and we have to say words like jungli billi. It would be nice to say the normal, cute things around her. Having said all that, Don2 is without a doubt, the most fun and special film that I have made. I am sure Priyanka, Ritesh Sidhwani (producer) and Farhan Akhtar (director) will agree.
