Priyanka Chopra’s next may be Vishal Bhardwaj’s Twelfth Night adaptation
Mumbai: Filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj has worked with a gamut of ace actors ranging from Om Puri, Naseeruddin Shah and Pankaj Kapur to Irrfan and Tabu.
But, Bhardwaj says that with actor Priyanka Chopra he shares a special relation. “Ek to she’s a huge star, vo to sab
ko pata hai par she’s a very real person. When you are with her, you don’t feel that Priyanka is a star. Mujhe lagta hai Priyanka dost hai (I feel Priyanka is my friend). Matlab uske
sath yaron wali baat hai,” he says. Bhardwaj and Chopra have worked earlier in films such as Kaminey (2009) and 7 khoon maaf (2011). And now the filmmaker reveals that he desires to work with her again. “Priyanka is now a huge international star; I met her 3-4 times in New York. But she’s still the same, and we both are looking forward to work with each other.
Most probably I’ll do my [adaptation of, Shakespeare’s] Twelfth
Night with her,” says Bhadwaj who has earlier made a trilogy on Shakespearean works -- Maqbool (2003),
Omkara (2006) and Haider (2014).
