  • 7 years ago
Ace filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali is completely in awe of Priyanka Chopra, who is playing the titular role in his upcoming production venture Mary Kom. At the trailer launch of the film SLB said that PeeCee is India's answer to Hollywood's Hilary Swank and he also stated that she is in the league of veteran actresses like Waheeda Rehman and Nutan. At the event, Bhansali said, ''It's a very special film as Mary Kom is a huge inspiration for our youth and for women and nobody could have played that role better than our atom bomb PeeCee. If Hollywood has Hilary Swank, then we have Priyanka Chopra.'' ''Here's an actor, who used to barge into my house to ask me about her role and this what a great talent is all about. Besides being talented, it's the fire, the commitment, it's the electricity which sparkles in her work. I love her commitment to her work, to her art and to be able to play Mary Kom and to give so many hours to train. She became manly for the film. This is what Nutan ji and Waheeda ji were all about and I think Priyanka is in that same league. She is fabulous as an actor and also as a person.''
