Priyanka
Chopra
who
started
shooting
in
Kashmir
for
Saat
Khoon
Maaf
has
her
first
of
her
7
screen
husbands,
Irrfan
Khan,
frantically
preparing
for
his
part
of
a
love-stuck
poet.
Irrfan
had
started
his
career
as
a
film
actor
with
the
role
of
a
love-stuck
poet
in
Govind
Nihalani's
Drishti
where
he
had
got
to
make
love
to
the
older
woman,
the
beautiful
Dimple
Kapadia.
In
Saat
Khoon
Maaf
again,
Irrfan
plays
a
besotted
lover-boy,
this
time
wooing
Priyanka
Chopra.
And
to
help
Irrfan
get
passionately
poetic,
there's
the
inimitable
Gulzar's
poetry
that
would
be
used
for
Irrfan's
character.
Gulzar
Saab
has
apparently
written
some
of
his
most
romantic
lines
ever
for
Irrfan
to
woo
Priyanka
with.
A
diehard
Gulzar
fan,
Priyanka
can't
wait
to
be
wooed
with
the
luscious
poetry
that
Irrfan
would
be
reciting.
The
trick
is
to
make
Irrfan
look
much
younger
than
his
age
for
the
role
of
the
Cupid-challenged
poet.
The
makeup
artiste
has
been
working
since
last
week
on
Irrfan's
face
and
body
language
to
arrive
at
a
look
that
would
knock
at
least
ten
years
off
Irrfan's
actual
age.
Says
Irrfan,
"I
play
a
shayar
who
is
completely
in
love
with
Priyanka
Chopra.
Yes,
the
makeup
artiste
has
worked
out
a
look
around
my
strange
face
so
that
for
the
first
time
I
look
different.
In
any
case
if
one
has
to
woo
Priyanka,
one
automatically
glows
with
romantic
enthusiasm.
She's
very
inspiring."
Says
the
actor,
"I
can't
reveal
any
more
about
my
character.
But
I
must
thank
Vishal
Bhardwaj
for
allowing
me
to
court
two
of
the
most
beautiful
women
on
screen.
It
was
Tabu
in
Maqbool
and
now
Priyanka
in
this
film."
