7 Khoon Maaf is the movie starring Priyanka Chopra in another new avatar. Much like the movie “What’s your Rashee”, 7 Khoon Maaf will see Priyanka expermenting with the camera and setting benchmarks for Bollywood actresses. The movie is to release on 18th of February 2011. The movie is filled with drama, thriller and black comedy. The movie is said to be based on the novel by Ruskin Bond named “Susanna’s Seven Husbands” where Priyanka will have 7 husbands and she will be in a negative role trying to kill them one by one, as she passes on in various stages of her life.
Priyanka’s seven husbands are played by Naseeruddin Shah, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Irrfan Khan, John Abraham, Annu Kapoor, Russian actor Aleksandr Dyachenko and Naseeruddin’s youngest son Vivaan Shah. With this range of actors from the industry huge expectations are already set from the movie. I hope no girl is inspired from this movie and goes on a rampage.
The music of the film is given by Vishal Bhardwaj and lyrics are songs are written by Gulzar.
