What: Dostana press conference
Where: Cinemax, Andheri, Mumbai
When: November 13, 2008

The starcast of the film Dostana got together to speak to the media at the film’s press conference. Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham, Priyanka Chopra and Bobby Deol were present at the press meet.

Bobby Deol and Priyanka Chopra will be welcoming Danny Denzongpa as part of Chamku where he will play a pivotal role as the character Baba. We’re told, as a teacher, Baba transforms Bobby’s character and makes him a tough guy and explains the meaning of life to him.

He has just started shooting for the film this past Monday. Denzongpa will be sporting a long beard for the sadhu look.

Filming four projects at Film City, it is also believed that Denzongpa has been signed by Neeraj Pathak for The Man starring Shilpa Shetty. For this film, he will be working under another Deol – Sunny, who is not only the co-producer but the director of the film.

Yes, there still are more action heroes to be found among the Deol clan. Raj Deol is the newest and is looking forward to debuting in Kahin Hai Wo Aas Pas where his heroine (not cast as yet) will also be a new face on the silver screen. The film is an action/thriller.

Whether or not this Deol will be able to fit into the acting shoes of his famous cousins Sunny and Bobby or uncle Dharmendra, remains to be seen. Yet, he claims that he’s not an amateur, having been trained under the tutelage of guru Kishore Namit Kapoor.

“I am a little nervous, but I am working on making my first film a success. I am ready to take on the challenge,” says Deol.

Having the support of his family is one thing that he can count on. “I can always walk into their house and ask for their advice. They always help me.”
