Abhishek beaten by Priyanka

Even before the release of Goldie Behl's Drona, the verdict is OUT! Priyanka Chopra is all set to rule the action scenes with her high-flying stunts... beating Abhishek Bachchan hands down.

The actress will be seen performing some pretty amazing stunts in the film. What's more is that Abhishek hasn't been given much screen space in the movie.

Confirming Priyanka to be the 'surprise package' of the film, a source says, "Abhishek will hardly be seen in the film, while Priyanka will dominate all the action scenes. The film is said to be a magnum opus as the producers have spent a lot of money on the action and special effects. The sets have also been magnanimous."

The source further said, "What is surprising is that Abhishek will be disappointed after seeing the movie. Until now those who have seen the rushes of the film say that despite being made on a 90-crore budget, the film might not live up to audience's expectations. The junior Bachchan will be seen in smaller footages and even the climax scenes have been totally dominated by Priyanka's action sequences."

So Drona exudes girl power...come on now, is that so bad?

The film, one of the biggest releases slated for this year has been directed by Goldie Behl and is slated for release on October 2, 2008.
