Parineeti Chopra Says Her PR Game Sucks!

Parineeti Chopra is one actress who started off her career on a very promising note but never reached the expected heights. Her acting skills were lauded right from the very first film but her bad script selection cost her a lot. It has been a long time since she scored a hit. She recently made a comeback with ‘Chamkila’ which was released on Netflix directly.

Starring Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti in the lead, this biopic is directed by Imtiaz Ali. Parineeti is married to Aam Aadmi Party leader Raghav Chadda and she is not doing films frequently over the past few years. After a few setbacks, Parineeti failed to get big movies and she revealed that not attending parties and events led to losing a lot of big opportunities.

She stated, “My PR game sucks, and I would have been a popular actor if I would have known to make these commercial movies. But I am happy with whatever I have achieved.” She added, “I feel that access to certain actors and access to certain directors leads to work opportunity, that’s what I definitely feel. And if I am not available in front of their eyes all the time, I will lose out on that work opportunity.”

She went on to say, “I am just saying that there are camps, there are circles, there are favourites. Two people who are similarly talented, who can bring the same thing to the table, one will be a favourite and one will be not and the one who is not will lose the work opportunity which is why I really urge that this becomes a meritocracy. So if I am able to bring that talent, if I am able to bring that same amount, then I must also get the opportunity and not lose it because I don’t have a relationship or I am not in your camp or I am not in your click.”

No Luck This Time: Ileana’s Bollywood Film Fizzles Out

Ileana D’Cruz, who once captivated the hearts of Tollywood audiences with blockbuster movies like ‘Pokiri’ and ‘Jalsa’, recently made her comeback in Bollywood after a three-year hiatus following the birth of her first child. Her return to the big screen was marked by two films, ‘Tera Kya Hoga Lovely’ and the recently released ‘Do Aur Do Pyaar’.

‘Do Aur Do Pyaar’, starring Vidya Balan, Prateek Gandhi, Ileana D’Cruz, and Senthil Ramamurthy, hit the theatres on April 19. However, the film faced tough competition from Dibakar Banerjee’s ‘Love S*ex Aur Dhokha 2’, also featuring Vidya Balan and Prateek Gandhi. Despite the star-studded cast and the directorial efforts of Shirsha Guha Thakurta, ‘Do Aur Do Pyaar’ fell short of expectations, earning approximately Rs 50 lakhs on its opening day with a 9.10% Hindi occupancy.

On the other hand, ‘Love Se*x Aur Dhokha 2’ managed to secure only Rs 15 lakhs on its first day, with a 5.48% Hindi occupancy. Directed by Dibakar Banerjee and produced by Ektaa R Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor under Balaji Motion Pictures, the film stands out for breaking stereotypes and highlighting the realities of today’s generation. Despite her best efforts in Bollywood, Ileana’s recent films have not met the desired success.

Her last appearance in Tollywood was in Ravi Teja’s ‘Amar Akbar Anthony’ in 2018, directed by Srinu Vaitla, which also failed to make a mark at the box office. With her recent Bollywood endeavors facing challenges, it seems Ileana might need to revisit Tollywood to reignite her career and charm audiences once again.
