Priyanka Chopra wants her character real in Barfee



Priyanka Chopra is busy shooting for her film Barfee. But whenever it comes to films, she wants to get it as realistic as possible. For her two earlier films Ashutosh Gowariker’s What’s Your Raashee and Vishal Bhardwaj’s Saat Khoon Maaf, Priyanka had gained and lost weight significantly. Of course, that proved a bit detrimental to her.
Anurag Basu had written that particular character for Priyanka Chopra in the film. The character needs to be without food or water and without even public contact for three days on the trot. Priyanka Chopra wanted this part to be realistic and so wanted to undergo the entire scene realistically. This meant that she would lock herself up in a room, be away from the world and would also have to go without food and water.
Initially, Ranbir Kapoor thought that PC was playing a joke on everyone there. However, as things got serious, no one could dissuade Priyanka from not doing the three day ‘scene’. But when Priyanka did not seem to give up, the director Anurag Basu put a condition to Priyanka.
He wanted to go without food and water and be with Priyanka as well. Incidentally, both Anurag Basu and Priyanka Chopra have health problems and cannot afford to go through any such thing. It is learnt that Priyanka remained unavailable for the comments after the shoot.
