Priyanka Chopra Is The Hottest Black Widow Ever In 7 KHOON MAAF

One thing about Indian films, they do not hire ugly chicks.  Priyanka Chopra is another stunner, and former Miss World.  Lately she's stuck herself into several run of the mill rom-coms in Bollywood without too much success, her last truly big hit was Dostana in 2008.  I think I feel her making a comeback though, with her latest film to "hit the floors", 7 Khoon Maaf.

7 Khoon Maaf shares the story of a Black Widow who murders each of her seven husbands, the story takes Priyanka's lead character from age 20 to 65.  This is not such fluffy stuff, and it seems like the kind of project that could finally get her to stretch her acting wings and let us know what she's really got.  As if the story weren't enough to inspire her, she's got a mean cast of leading men to contend with, playing her seven husbands are Neil Nitin Mukesh (New York), Naseeruddin Shah (Monsoon Wedding), her Dostana co-star John Abraham, Russian actor Aleksandr Dyachenko, Annu Kapoor, Vivaan Shah, and my own personal favorite and future Spider-Man villain, Irrfan Khan.  With that kind of firepower on the other end, Chopra is going to have to step it up a notch.

Following the latest trend for Bollywood films, 7 Khoon Maaf is importing Oscar winning talent to fill in some of the behind the scenes support roles.  The most important behind the scenes character in this film is Greg Cannon, Academy Award winner for special effects in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, he was in charge of Chopra's old age get up, if the Wikipedia is to be believed, Chopra even went so far as to gain weight for the role, and somehow that makes her sound even hotter.  The director also has a few winners up his sleeve, Vishal Bardwaj has helmed a number of award winners in India and is best recognized for his Shakespeare adaptations Omkara (Othello) and Maqbool (MacBeth).  This film has a pretty decent chance of being good, and I am all for any film with Priyanka Chopra!

7 Khoon Maaf is scheduled to release in February 2011.
