Priyanka Chopra - Ranveer Singh to play siblings in Zoya Akhtar's film

Contrary to reports it is Priyanka Chopra, a trusted and luscious lieutenant of Farhan Akhtar’s production company (she is the resident heroine of their Don series) and not Anushka Sharma who has been roped in to play a pivotal role in Zoya Akhtar’s next directorial venture. The film is a story of a strong bonding between a brother and a sister. And Priyanka’s brother in Zoya’s film would be played by none other than Ranveer Singh. A bit of an odd casting calculation considering the two play paramours in Yashraj Film’s Gunday. Says a source close to Ranveer, “They are both very accomplished young talents. They will look as convincing as siblings and lovers.” To rewind a bit Zoya wanted to cast real-life cousins Ranbir and Kareena Kapoor as siblings in her film. The two rejected the offer for being too gimmicky.
