Remember we had reported recently that Priyanka Chopra had shot for Rose Audio Visual's India Calling. It looks like that brush with television was not enough for the leggy lass. She is all set to make an appearance once again on the same channel Star One for Siddharth Basu’s game show, Heartbeat.

An out and out game show, Heartbeat has quite a unique concept. Participants have to answer questions and their time is monitored by their heartbeat. So if the contestants are nervous or excited, they can’t let their heart know!

The show has been talked about extensively due to its impressive line up of celebrities. Priyanka enjoyed herself thoroughly on the show. Apart from the actress, other celebrities on the show include Neha Dhupia, Supriya Pilgaonkar, Varun Badola, Ajay Jadeja and Vinod Kambli. The show begins on May 1st. While Varun Badola will be seen in the first episode, Priyanka’s episode will be aired in the second week of May.

Film maker Vipul Shah is currently in the process of finalizing the cast for his next film, Namaste London. The latest update is that Shah is in talks with Sean Connery’s son for a role in the film. When we spoke to him, he told us that nothing has been confirmed yet. “Things abroad work differently. There are various agents in London who we are in talks with. We are looking at the option of casting Sean Connery’s son, Jason. I am going to London on the 30th of April. Only the audition will determine whether or not Jason is suitable for the role.”

The actors who have already been signed on for the project include Akshay Kumar, Rishi Kapoor, Katrina Kaif and Upen Patel. So who will we see opposite Upen? “We are still looking for a suitable actress opposite Upen. It will be an Indian actress,” said the film maker.

A romantic film, it promises to be technically up-to-the mark as well. Shah hopes to finalize all his technicians during his visit to London. The music will be composed by Himesh Reshammiya.
