The film, based on the Ruskin Bond’s short story, Susanna Seven Husbands, features seven male leads with Naseeruddin Shah, John Abraham and Neil Nitin Mukesh as the youngest husband, as well as Irrfan Khan, Annu Kapoor, Naseeruddin Shah’s youngest son Vivaan Shah and Russian actor Aleksandr Dyachenko, in the roles of the seven husbands.
Priyanka Chopra will be seen playing a negative character once again, after “Aitebaar”.
During the production, the film has gone through two name changes. Initially, the project was titled Seven which was then replaced by Ek Batta Saat and finally 7 Khoon Maaf.
Produced by UTV Spotboy and Bharadwaj himself, it stars Neil Nitin Mukesh, John Abraham, Irrfan Khan, Naseeruddin Shah, Annu Kapoor and Russian actor Aleksandr Dyachenko. Naseers son Vivaan also plays one of the husbands in the thriller.
The script of this movie has been written by Hollywood scriptwriter Matthew Robbins in association with Vishal Bhardwaj. He had written script of Steven Spielberg’s SUGARLAND EXPRESS, says that because of its unique plot, he decided to work on this movie with Vishal. “We have been in touch via mail over the years. One day, he sent me a copy of Bond’s novel. This sparked off a fresh round of dialogue between us and, in October 2009, I flew down to Mumbai to meet him,” Says Matthew.
Bharadwaj also hired Hollywood special make-up effects artist Greg Cannom of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button fame to create those seven different looks. It is also being said that to make Priyanka look like a 65-year-old woman, the make-up team used Priyanka’s grandmother’s photo for ideas.
Like always, Bharadwaj has also composed the music for the film. The Indian version of traditional Russian folk song Kalinka, Darling instantly struck a chord with the music buffs. It has been sung by Bharadwaj’s wife Rekha and Usha Uthup.
Priyanka Chopra is busy promoting the film through every possible platform. Though the male cast has not yet played any role in the promotions. Still the promos seem to generate curiosity amongst the movie watchers.
I am waiting for the movie eagerly, are you ???
