Apparently, actor Ranbir Kapoor is insistent that his co-stars Priyanka Chopra and Ileana D’Cruz be given equal importance in promotions of their upcoming film

Actor Ranbir Kapoor, who is busy wrapping up the Paris shoot schedule of his Ayan Mukherjee film Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and is awaiting to begin the promotions of his upcoming film Barfi!, has apparently put forth a request to the filmmakers. According to a source, the young star wants his co-stars Priyanka Chopra and Ileana D’Cruz to be given equal importance in the promotions and is insistent that the three of them promote the film together. “Ranbir feels that the film is pure team work and all the three of them are equally important. So, he’s requested the production house to make sure that all the three of them are seen equally,” says the source. Another industry insider points out that it is unusual to see a hero ask that his heroines be given equal footage in terms of promotions. “Ranbir acknowledges that Priyanka is as big a name as he is and respects that. He doesn’t want it to seem like he is taking credit for the positive response the film’s promos have been garnering, so he wants Ileana and PC to be there as well,” adds another source. Meanwhile, Priyanka herself has been getting a lot of praise for her role in the film, even though the promos barely show her for a few minutes. “She catches the eye, even if she is on screen for a few minutes. And there’s more curiosity about her character at present as well,” says a trade observer. “Ileana is also a credited actor down South while Ranbir is one of the finest we have in young talent. So to have all the three together will definitely be a treat for fans,” the observer adds.
