Ace Filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj has revealed his desire to collaborate with Priyanka Chopra once again. The duo has worked together in films like ‘Kaminey’ (2009) and ‘7 Khoon Maaf’. Bhardwaj, who has earlier made a trilogy on Shakespearean works such as ‘Maqbool’, ‘Omkara’ and ‘Haider’, said that he would like to do a film based on Shakespeare’s ‘Twelfth Night’ with Priyanka Chopra.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, the director said, “Ek to she’s a huge star, vo to sab ko pata hai par she’s a very real person. When you are with her, you don’t feel that Priyanka is a star. Mujhe lagta hai Priyanka dost hai (I feel Priyanka is my friend). Matlab uske sath yaron wali baat hai.”
He further added, ” Priyanka Chopra is now a huge international star; I met her 3-4 times in New York. But she’s still the same, and we both are looking forward to collaborate with each other. Most probably I’ll do my adaptation of, Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night with her.”

“Dilli aur north se jo actors aate hain unki Hindi bahut achchi hoti hai. Woh at least Devnagri me padte hai, nahi to logon ne to Hindi ko bhi Roman mein padna shuru kar diya hai (Actors from Delhi and north India have a good hold on Hindi. At least they read Hindi in the Devnagri script, otherwise people have started even reading Hindi in Roman,” he added.
Priyanka Chopra will soon start working on her comeback film ‘Bharat’. This Ali Abbas Zafar directorial stars Salman Khan in a lead role and will be releasing next year on Eid.
