and PC seemed like a perfect director-and-cogitate combination with the success of Kaminey that was released in 2009 and also had Shahid Kapoor in the lead role.However, 7 Khoon Maaf turned out to be a commercially and critically failed attempt; Vishal Bhardwaj didn't transform into India's Hitchcock and Priyanka Chopra could not become its Janet Leigh or Kim Novak.Piggy Chops was the only name on Vishal Bhardwaj's wishlist for his adaptation of Chetan Bhagat's bestseller “2 States”, featuring Shahrukh Khan and being produced by Sajid Nadiawala. This now has all changed.
Once, an actor was being approached to sign a film, which he didn`t want to. To get rid of them the actor demanded Rs 25 crore for the movie, thinking they won`t call him anymore. But the next day, the corporate house came to him with his signing amount stated the director. Since then his issue-based films like Page 3, Traffic Signal, Jail, Fashion, Corporate and Satta have got Madhur two more National Film Awards. Well!, we wish that the director may get success everytime he makes a film.
It has been revealed that Sanjay Leela Bhansali who broke the ice was impressed by Rani's performance in No One Killed Jessica, so much so that he sent appreciation message to the actress desipte of the fact that they don't see eye to eye. It is said that now both sanjay and Rani have chatted too. If you remember both the duo were good friends once and worked together in Black and Saawariya.
However, the Chopra parivaar are still interested on Aditya reuniting with his ex-wife Payal. On the alleged insult, the family said that everyone who walked past Yash Chopra spoke to him paying full respect. However, Rani did not make any such efforts.
Similarly, another director Siddharth Anand, who first worked with Piggy Chops in Anjaana Anjaani, wanted to work with her again in his next, a mature love story that will have Saif playing his age. Siddharth Anand will be co-producing the film with Saif. And the production of the movie will start this year itself. . We hope that Saif and Priyanka set the screen on fire!!!
