Parineeti’s new avatar for Dhoom 4

Parineeti Chopra’s weight loss has been the subject of much discussion for a while now. And while the actress herself has maintained that she’s gone about it the healthy way, and had no reason for it beyond wanting to look and feel her best — we may have news that says otherwise. For if our B-town source is to be believed, then Pari has effected her drastic makeover for a role in the fourth installment of the Dhoom series!

While she had a relatively successful innings in the film industry, despite the very short time she has been a part of it, after two flops in Kill Dil and Daawat E Ishq, Pari did not have any films in her kitty. And it wasn’t due to lack of opportunity — for our sources tell us that she was offered several roles, which she didn’t accept. Her reasoning: She was “saving herself for her grand role” — that of the female lead in Dhoom 4.

“Producer Aditya Chopra has sounded her out about the role in Dhoom 4. As seen in the franchise so far, the role would be sexy — kind of a cross between Aishwarya Rai in Dhoom 2 and Katrina Kaif in Dhoom 3,” our source said. And Pari is ready to take on the challenge!
