Not for nothing does Priyanka Chopra call her role in Vishal Bharadwaj’s film Saat Khoon Maaf the most challenging of her life. Shooting away from ‘civilization’ in the relative isolation of far flung Coorg, Priyanka has been braving leeches, apart from total disconnect from her friends and family. But that’s not the real challenge.
The tough part is that Priyanka plays a character that ages from 20 to 60 in the movie. And during the course of that time she kills seven husbands of hers.
We know Priyanka all but convincingly pulled off the twelve different sun-sign-inspired characters in Ashutosh Gowarikar’s film What's Your Raashee? but all those characters were young. In Vishal’s film, however, she has to understand the mind frame of a sexagenarian woman and bring it out in her character. “In Saat Khoon Maaf my character ages from 20 to 60. That’s really tricky. We’ve done a looks test of me at 60,” Priyanka is quoted as saying by a tabloid. Challenging though it is, Priyanka says she’s getting enough guidance from her director.
