She's gone from 'desi girl' to 'Khooni haseena'. "My character of Susanna Anna Marie Johannes in '7 Khoon Maaf' has been modelled on my mother," states Priyanka Chopra, adding laughingly, "That is not to state that my mother is a killer!"
The flick helmed by Vishal Bhardwaj is an extended version of short stories penned by Ruskin Bond and tackles the lives and times of Susanna and her seven husbands, whom she weds over the years. Mysteriously, six of her hubbies die under strange circumstances and the needle of suspicion points to Susanna, making her the prime accused in each case.
All the hubbies: Neil Nitin Mukesh, John Abraham, Irrfan Khan, Aleksandr Dyachenko, Annu Kapoor, Naseeruddin Shah and Vivaan Shah have been styled with a unique 'look', with killer spouse Priyanka proudly donning seven different 'looks' in the flick.
States Priyanka, "This has been the most difficult and most challenging role of my life. Vishal Sir and I often had differences and fought a lot, but we did eventually come on the same page as far as the film is concerned."
Writer Ruskin Bond, originator of the opus had to conjure ingenious ways of bumping off the seven husbands. "It's not something that I was used to contemplating generally," states Bond in a media quote.
Speaking of his movie, a humourous take on the romantic misadventures of Susanna and her husbands, Bhardwaj states in a newpaper chat, "Indian cinema is inferior in storytelling as we do not have very many good writers. Robbins (Mathew) is a great screenplay writer and I requested him to come down to Mumbai and help me out."
