Priyanka is fearless: Rahul Bose

Actor Rahul Bose, who has shared screen space with Priyanka Chopra for the first time in "Dil Dhadakne Do", says she is "fearless" and hardworking.

Rahul plays Priyanka's onscreen husband in the Zoya Akhtar directorial, which released on June 5.

"It will be difficult for me to name a harder working actress who I have worked with than Priyanka. Not only is she incredibly well-prepared, she is also instinctive, intuitive and fearless. She is a real team player on a set," Rahul said in a statement.

"Dil Dhadakne Do", which also features Farhan Akhtar, Anil Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Anushka Sharma, Priyanka and Shefali Shah, tells the story of a dysfunctional Punjabi family and how they discover love and friendship during a cruise across the Mediterranean.

When asked about the on-set experience with his co-stars, Rahul said: "It's been one of the most satisfying film experiences. All the actors worked incredibly hard. Everyone came to the sets having done their homework and was open to improvisations. It was a great experience on and off screen."

On working with Zoya, he added: "Zoya knows exactly what she wants, but is willing to experiment on how to get there. She will give an actor all the freedom the actor wants but she won't compromise on the aim and intent of the scene. She has a clear idea of who each character is."
