Arriving a year and a half after Vishal Bhardwaj’s last film KAMINEY, 7 KHOON MAAF tells the story of a woman who murders each of her seven husbands. While the promos so far have managed to catch one’s attention, there is an amalgamation of various moods that seem to be looking up from every frame of the film. Isn’t Priyanka Chopra bothered about the fact that 7 KHOON MAAF has the kind of subject that could well entice diverse reactions?
"Look at it from the point of view of Susanna (the character that she plays in the film). The only thing that she looked for in life was love and this is what that kept evading her", says the National Award winning actress who pretty much lived her central protagonist role in FASHION as well, "Of course it was a different world that I was getting in. But then the kind of trust that I have with Vishal and the director-actor relationship that we share, I knew that we were in for something special."
However the fact remains that after all not many films would dare to portray a character, who goes on to kill each of her seven spouses. Isn’t she worried about the acceptability factor? "No, not actually", she says with a wink, "People may say that this woman is really wicked but then they would also exclaim that ’Ok, it’s fine actually because she had some good reasons of her own to get rid of these men." With lyrics by Gulzar and music by Vishal Bhardwaj himself, 7 KHOON MAAF releases all over this Friday.
