Priyanka is a sweetheart: Bobby Deol

Actor Bobby Deol says he would've been in a fix if Priyanka Chopra hadn't agreed to play a deglamourised role in his recently released home production Chamku, in which he has an author-backed role.

"Priyanka is a sweetheart. She plays a deglamourised role in Chamku. Most heroines wouldn't want to get into that deglamourous space, especially in a film that's driven by my character. But she agreed," said Bobby.

While Bobby plays the title role of a maoist in the film, Priyanka, who is his love interest in the movie, is a schoolteacher and is seen mainly in plain chiffons.

Bobby's elder brother Sunny too had serious problems finding a female lead for his home production, The Man. It was Shilpa Shetty who came to Sunny's rescue.

Apart from Priyanka, Bobby is thankful to Riteish Deshmukh who plays a cameo in Chamku.

"Riteish was very sweet. He agreed to play the small part of my friend in Chamku without a second thought at a time when he's busy doing major projects," said Bobby who had once agreed to play Riteish's elder brother in Vikram Bhatt's Bardasht.

Bobby has now another problem at hand. After losing 10 kg for his role in Chamku, he is now heavily into chocolates. And his family is very worried.
