Priyanka Chopra is not behind the delay of Barfi, affirms Anurag Basu
There were rumours making rounds earlier on that Anurag Basu directed film Barfi was getting delayed earlier on because Priyanka Chopra was giving preference to the shooting of Krrish 3 first.

However Director Anurag Basu has denied any such reports. It is known that PC is playing the female lead in the movie that also stars Ranbir Kapoor. "Nothing is getting delayed because of her (Priyanka), she has given a lot of dates," said Anurag Basu at the success party of Onir's I Am.

"I have been denying it again and again but these reports keep cropping up. She has already finished her work, only two days work is left and it is merely a patchwork, it's me who wants to shoot in those two days," he added.

Barfi! stars Ranbir as a deaf-mute boy while Priyanka essays the role of an autistic girl. Telugu actress Ileana D'Cruz plays narrator. The shooting is almost over, said Basu and added: "These are speculations. The film is not getting delayed because of anyone. The film is almost complete, we are just waiting for the right date to be decided by UTV. Even I am waiting for that date."

Well we wish that you soon get the desired date Anurag!

Hrithik Roshan has been offered to become the brand ambassador of Maharashtra

Hrithik Roshan has been offered to become the brand ambassador of Maharashtra
 The latest news making way is that Hrithik Roshan is set to help sell the state's sights & sounds to tourists of Maharashtra.

Buzz says that an agency hired by the Government approached Hrithik a few days ago to become the state's brand ambassador. They had sent a mail to Hrithik's team. It was immediately forwarded to him but he hasn't been able to take the final call considering his super busy schedule of Krrish3.

A source close to Hrithik informs that the Government agency wants Hrithik to take a few days off from his schedule to work on an extensive campaign for the state. They have plans to shoot a docu-film with him in places such as Kolhapur, Mahabaleshwar, Raigad and Mumbai. Even a photo shoot has been planned.

Hrithik is busy with Krrish 3 till October so it was speculated that the campaign will start after that only. But other sources inform that Hrithik too is keen on working out his schedule to fit in the camp since he thinks it is a great honour.

But everything depends on the schedule. It remains to be seen how they work out the dates considering Hrithik will be busy for another four-five months.

So now it has to be seen if the agency waits till then!
