Saat
Khoon Maaf
A drama, thriller and
black comedy package rolled out into a single film, the plot line revolves
around Sussane (Priyanka Chopra) and her journey to find true love which
results in her marrying seven times round, with seven different husbands.
Naseeruddin Shah, John Abraham, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Irrfan Khan, Annu Kapoor,
Vivaan Shah [Naseeruddin's youngest son], and Russian actor Aleksandr Dyachenko
have been rounded up for the said seven roles.
The film was set to release
on New Years Eve but has tentatively been postponed to February 18th, 2011
Playing wife to seven
hubbies and bumping them all off one by one is a role we rarely see Bollywood
actresses in. But Vishal Bharadwaj, always striving for a greater milestone,
is making Priyanka Chopra do exactly that in his on-the-floors movie Saat
Khoon Maaf.
While launching the denim
brand Levi's Change your World campaign earlier this week, Priyanka told
reporters: “It's too early to speak about Saat Khoon Maaf but it will be
a very unique film for sure.”

The movie is based on
Ruskin Bond's story Susanna's Seven Husbands. Priyanka even had to turn
down an offer from Hollywood for this film.
“I can associate only
with the film I am committed to and I was committed to Vishal Bharadwaj....”
she said.
A host of actors play
Priyanka’s seven spouses in Saat Khoon Maaf. Among them are Naseeruddin
Shah, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Irrfan Khan and even Naseer’s young son.
Priyanka, who worked with
Vishal in Kaminey, said she’s delighted to be part of the director’s Saat
Khoon Maaf as well.
“To work with Vishal again
is a great opportunity because I think he is one of India's most celebrated
filmmakers. He has shown confidence in me, so I feel a bit nervous and
anxious as well,” she said.
Priyanka reportedly said
that the movie would be unique but admitted it was too early to even speak
abut it. She said this after launching a campaign organized by denim brand,
Levis. Priyanka has also replaced actor Akshay Kumar as the brand ambassador
of Levis.
Priyanka also expressed
happiness as she has got an opportunity to work with Vishal Bharadwaj once
again after Kaminey, which can not be termed as a blockbuster. Chopra said
that she had related and committed herself to the film and for that she
did not even mind rejecting a Hollywood offer.
In fact, she does not
deny the reports claiming that she declined a Hollywood offer recently. |
This offer is said to have
gone to Freida Pinto, who had earlier commented that she was not
informed about playing the Bond girl and such reports were mere rumors
and are not be believed.
Priyanka said
she sees Vishal as one of the best directors of India and is anxious and
expectant at the same time working with him. The National award winner
actress said Vishal has faith in her and the respect is mutual.
Saat Khoon Maaf also stars
Naseeruddin Shah, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Irrfan Khan.
Priyanka is set to host
the reality show Fear Factor - Khatron Ke Khiladi, as she takes over from
Akshay Kumar, once again. She is excited about the project, and says she
is looking forward to it.
She says she has gone
through the show’s previous seasons and feels it is the perfect show for
her. “It would be great to host the program,” she signs off. |
