Priyanka Chopra speaks to Rediff about the failure of Zanjeer, Kangnas role in Krrish and her singing career.

Your last release Zanjeer was a big dud at the box office. What do you think went wrong?

If I had been the maker of that film, I would have known what went wrong.
I am an actor, a small part of the film. I did my best and the rest is up to the audience.
Of course I felt bad as I had a lot of expectations. But I don't concentrate on these things and move on to my next film. Every film has its own destiny.

Kangna Ranaut in her interview said that she initially turned down the film because she was worried about being overshadowed by you.

A lot of girls rejected that role. It is really stupid to do so because it is an amazing role.
I am the heroine of the film and that is how it is. Of course you are bound to feel what is my part going to be'?
But her character is credible and interesting. If I had the opportunity to do it I would have done Kangana's role in the film.
In fact, when Rakesh sir (the film's director Rakesh Roshan) hadn't got anyone for the role, I told him I was ready to play that part as well.
But I am happy Kangna has done the role. She has done an amazing job. She looks fabulous. Playing a mutant is the new thing for Hindi cinema.

You collaborated with US singer Will.i.am for In My City and worked with US rapper Pitbull for Exotic. Anyone else you'd like to collaborate with?
I would like to collaborate with Beyonce and do a full-on girl power song.
I wouldn't mind collaborating with Honey Singh. I love him. It would be interesting to work with him.
