As interesting and as unreal as it may sound but there were chances of Priyanka Chopra coming on board for Ayushmann Khurrana's Dream Girl. No, we aren't talking about playing the romantic lead opposite the actor and replacing Nushrat Bharucha but something else. The makers were earlier toying with the idea of using her voice for Pooja - a character Ayushmann imitates in the movie. Whether PeeCee would have agreed or not is a topic for some other day but yes, there were talks on this subject.
Ayushmann plays an adult phone entertainer named Pooja who's basically a man speaking with his callers in female's voice. In his interaction with a leading daily, the Article 15 star revealed he was going to recommend Priyanka's name for dubbing for Pooja's voice. They were even trying to figure out her dates since she was in the US at that time. He personally thought the Quantico actress has the best voice in the industry, however, he later decided to voice it himself. It eventually left him more satisfied. Dream Girl Movie Review: Ayushmann Khurrana Is at His Hilarious Best in the Funniest Film in Recent Times.
We agree that Priyanka has a rather sensuous voice and she would have added some additional wonders to this eccentric movie. Anyways, the movie has already hit the screens and it's receiving some great critical reviews. Another winner for Mr Khurrana it seems.
