Shahrukh Khan and Priyanka
Chopra watch the match between India and England in Jaipur
Jaipur, Oct 15: What better
it could be than to cheer the Indian cricketers in the field and at the
same time promoting ones forthcoming film. Superstar Shahrukh Khan and
Priyanka Chopra did exactly the same thing on Sunday morning when they
took a train ride from New Delhi to Jaipur to support the eleven Indian
players playing against England in the ICC Champions trophy.
As part of Pepsi's "Blue
Billion Express" campaign both superstars spoke more about their forthcoming
film Don than about their love for cricket. Blame it on the commerce. Don,
a remake of the 70's hit movie of the same name that featured legendary
superstar Amitabh Bachchan is going to hit theatres this coming Friday
and has already generated a lot of curiosity and excitement in the movie
trade business.
Priyanka Chopra, a former
Miss World is Khan's co-star in the forthcoming movie.
"Don has the Hollywood touch.
Its dialogue is Farhan's creative work, in spite that the storyline remains
same," said King Khan.
For the cricket lovers he
said, "All of us are behaving like fans and like the fans we are traveling
to support our country so that they win this cup and the World Cup." Meanwhile,
cricket fans or Shahrukh's fans who were there in the train in large numbers
got their faces and arms painted with Indian tricolor and blue color as
they took to the venue to boost the morale of the team and prayed for India's
victory.
Priyanka expressing that
how lucky she felt to fit into the role that was played by glamorous Zeenat
Aman in the earlier avatar of Don, said that she was equally feeling excited
to watch a live match in the stadium. "...Going to watch this match live,
everything is very new to me. So, I am truly a professional fan today and
I am really excited doing the part," she said
