Mohan Lal to play Priyanka Chopra's hubby
- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,November 14 2009]
The news that Malayalam star Mohanlal is acting as Priyanka Chopra's husband in Hindi film Seven (earlier called 7 Husbands) is spreading like rapid fire.
The South Indian star, who wears a moustache, is not the first time he is acting in a high-profile Bollywood film. In Ram Gopal Verma's Company, he played a powerful Mumbai Commissioner role. This time, he has bagged a role in Vishal Bharadwaj's film. The Kaminey director is making an interesting film with Piggy Chops: it is about a lady (played by PC) who happens to marry 7 men.
Obviously, Mohanlal is one of the husbands. But it is not going to be a peripheral role. Apart from the role of Hrithik Roshan (who is a husband too), the veteran's role is of significance in Seven.
Still in the scripting stages, the news about Mohanlal's role in the film has broken out and the media has widely written about it since. An intense actor, for Mohanlal it is clearly mannah from Heaven. For he has not just got a performance-driven role in his hands, but one in a Vishal film!
With Kaminey, the director proved that his forte is extracting splendid performances from his actors (in fact, he made a newcomer named Chandan Roy Sanyal deliver a dekko). If he can make a newbie rivet us, think of what he will create with a Mohanlal. This time around, we expect the Malayalam actor to give an award-winning showing.
