Friday, 25th July 2014, 04:30 PM IST Readers may remember reports about Priyanka Chopra being considered to play the female lead opposite Irrfan Khan in Ashi Dua’s literary biopic.
Ever since Irrfan Khan announced that he will be playing Sahir Ludhianvi in a romantic biopic on the literary giant’s life, everyone wanted to know who would be cast opposite him. Now we have learnt that Priyanka Chopra has been signed up for the role in the film that is tentatively titled ‘Gustaakhiyaan’.
A source close to the production said Priyanka, who took time to green-light the project, is finally roped in, “She was always the first choice for the role. Ashi is sure that Priyanka fits the bill.”
The film is being helmed by Ashi Dua and will go on the floor early next year. |
