Priyanka Chopra reveals why she took on Kaminey despite having only 8 scenes; Vishal Bhardwaj recalls writing a poem to calm her anger

She continued, “He promised he would make something incredible for me after this in appreciation for doing the part. But honestly, I was just greedy to work with him. A few years later, we did 7 Khoon Maaf.” Describing Kaminey as a “turning point in my career,” Priyanka went on to heap praise on Vishal and her co-stars. “I learned so much from the master Vishal Bhardwaj on how to research, prepare and then surrender to the part. Shahid Kapoor was sensational in his double role. Amol Gupte was unforgettable. I also met our producer for the movie, Mubina Rattonsey, for the first time on this set.”

Responding to Priyanka’s post, Vishal took to his Instagram stories and recalled penning a poem for her on a day she was in a bad mood. He also described her as one of his favourite collaborators. “Priyanka Chopra, ask me how much I miss those days. You have been one of the finest collaborations of my career. Remember one day, when you got angry, I handwrote a poem on a napkin and sent it to manaao you.. “Doosri jangeaadam ko khatam huye bhi beetein saal… Ab bhi kuch Japani afsar chhipein mile hain duty par… Tum se kab ab milna hoga… Kya ab bhi naraaz ho tum?” In response, the actor wrote, “Haha apse kaun naraaz reh sakta hai Vishal Bhardwaj? Aaiye milne (Who can be angry with you? Come and meet me sometime).”
