The former Miss World and the sexiest Asian actress Priyanka Chopra is nowadays angry at some media reports.Priyanka has denied rumours that she is miffed over co-stars Kareena Kapoor and Isha Koppikar getting more prominence than her in the promotional campaign of their forthcoming film Don .
Lashing out at reports published in a section of the media quoting 'sources' and 'birdie', Priyanka has clarified that the rumour is absolutely baseless and silly. "I'm so proud of 'Don'. It was a great opportunity to work with such a fantastic bunch of professionals like Shah Rukh Khan , producer Ritesh Sidhwani and director Farhan Akhtar . I hope to work with them again. The film is among the highlights of my career," she said in a statement. Commenting on the media reports, Priyanka said, "I really wish people would stop creating fire when there's none." 'Don', a remake of the Amitabh Bachchan starrer Don (1978) releases on October 20, 2006. Priyanka is the main female lead opposite SRK, the role played by Zeenat Aman in the original, Kareena is cast in Helen 's role, in which she dances to 'Yeh Mera Dil...', while Isha plays the character of Anita who is first to recognise that SRK (whom the police prop up as Don after the gangster is killed in the first half of the film) is not Don. During the music release function last month, Farhan had revealed that in his film, the length of Anita's character is long.

Priyanka Chopra cries foul!

Actor Priyanka Chopra is upset with reports claiming that she had been confiding in close friends about her having to share the limelight with hotties, Ishaa Koppikar and Kareena Kapoor in Farhan Akhtar’s ‘Don’.
Incidentally, both Ishaa and Kareena have been appreciated in the tracks ‘Main hoon Don’ and ‘Yeh mera dil’ respectively, the promos of which are on air. Reportedly, Priyanka was also said to be upset about sharing poster space with her female co-actors and their hi-profile presence in the film’s publicity.
Priyanka defends herself by clarifying, “The rumour is absolutely baseless and silly. I’ve been out of town for nearly three months, shuttling between countries and living out of a suitcases. Do I look insecure?”
She adds, “ I’m so proud to be a part of ‘Don’. It was a great opportunity to work with such a fantastic bunch of professionals—Shah Rukh (Khan), Ritesh (Sidhwani) and Farhan (Akhtar). I hope to work with them again. The film is among the highlights of my career.”
When asked about having to share the limelight with Kareena and Ishaa, she shoots back, “I’ve worked with Kareena before. She’s wonderful and adds to the star value of a set-up. Even Ishaa is very good in the film. I really wish people would stop creating fire when there’s none!”
