New Delhi, Nov 7 After flaunting her curves and earning rave reviews for her performance in ‘Fashion’, Priyanka Chopra is all set to show off her svelte figure in swimsuits and beachwear in forthcoming film ‘Dostana’.

She says she had to work really hard to get the right shape for the romantic comedy.

‘For ‘Fashion’, I had to put on six kilos and later had to shed chip by chip as the character progressed in the film. My body structure in ‘Dostana’ is more toned than in ‘Fashion’ as it is a completely beach film. I’ve worked very hard on my body,’ Priyanka told IANS in an interview.

After a hectic schedule with six films in a row this year, Priyanka said shooting for ‘Dostana’ with Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham was like a vacation and a rejuvenating experience for her.

Entirely shot in Miami, Florida, ‘Dostana’ comes as a breather for the actress whose flagging career was given a new lease of life with ‘Fashion’ after a series of duds – ‘Love Story 2050′, ‘God Tussi Great Ho’, ‘Chamku’ and ‘Drona’.

”Dostana’ was like a vacation. It was so much fun. We were in Miami for two months and I was so fresh and rested when I came back. It was like a really relaxed outdoor and (I had a) great time because everybody got along well with each other,’ Priyanka said.

Produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and directed by Tarun Mansukhani, the romantic comedy will release Nov 14.

Priyanka plays a fashion journalist who shares her apartment with Abhishek and John. The two dupe her to rent her apartment on the pretext of being a gay couple.
