Naseeruddin Shah is always busy in his acting career even at this age but he enjoys his work more because he always has a feeling of incompleteness in him.

However, with time his cynicism on Bollywood films is growing bigger and better. He is not happy to see the kind of cinema being produced for the masses these days.

He was also upset with Vishal Bhardwaj for making him do the role in 7 Khoon Maaf because Naseer was never convinced about that role wholeheartedly. He worked in 4 films in 2010 and none of them did well as per his expectations.

So, this year Naseeruddin will take a break from cinema with all this cynicism taking a toll on him and would rather concentrate on theatre.

I have always been a big fan of Naseeruddin Shah...one of the really good, educated actors of India who knows and understands cinema very deeply. I often wonder how a deep artist like him with all his criticism is still surviving in such a made up industry and is going strong. Compared to Big B and other flashy actors, Naseeruddin Shah's work is always a class apart!

Vivaan Shah had a great time working with Priyanka Chopra & he admits that he was scared. "I had a wonderful time working with Priyanka Chopra. I was intimidated working with Priyanka Chopra. But with her kind-hearted and friendly nature, she really made it comfortable for me on the sets. She gave me a lot of tips on acting. I learnt a lot and it's been one of the most cherished experienced of my life."

See the son of Naseeruddin Shah talks like a normal human being. Although he was intimidated by Priyanka & he even praised Priyanka for her friendly nature, but this doesn’t sound like Sara Dias who just went on praising Ranbir Kapoor like anything & that was just an ad, to begin with. And you will notice that Vivaan talks about his character & the character of his dad. He sounds quite down-to-earth at the moment.

Naseeruddin Shah is also playing an important role in the film. When asked if his character in the film is better than father, Vivaan says, "I can't call my character better than dad's character. Both are extremely interesting and different, which is shown in the film." And was he nervous working with his dad? "I wasn't nervous performing in front of my dad. Every time he was on set, I was motivated and charged up even more. I even tried to impress him."

So did he feel sad when his dad was being killed in the film? "I don't play my dad's son in the film. So I didn't feel sad when dad was murdered by Priyanka," says Vivaan.

Priyanka Chopra has a new favorite in Bollywood and it is the new comer Vivaan Shah. 7 Khoon Maaf is his debut film and Priyanka is in love with his actings skills. So much so, she said acting is in his genes after all he is the son of the best Indian actor around - the one and only Naseeruddin Shah. The film 7 Khoon Maaf is from Vivaan's point of view so his role is quite significant.

Priyanka said, she connected really well with Vivaan with whom she spent lots of time on the sets. Both Vivaan and Naseeruddin Shah played the role of her husbands in 7 Khoon Maaf. Priyanka said both father and son brilliantly essayed the roles they were given and it was interesting to work with both of them.

The latest update is that Priyanka’s character in 7 Khoon Maaf is not that negative. In fact, it’s romantic. It’s so romantic that she ends up killing those who love her & she has no remorse whatsoever.

"I'm not playing a negative character in the film. Isiliye mujhe 7 Khoon Maaf hain," said the pretty actress.

She quips, "I didn't feel sad at all while killing my husbands. I have always broken hearts. It's my habit. I'm very romantic. I even kill with love. It's beautifully romantic to die in the arms of the person you love."

7 Khoon Maaf will be released on 18th February. We all look forward to it & I'm sure this one will be even better than Priyanka's Fashion. I just love her selection of movies.

Recently in one of her interviews, Priyanka confessed that one of her biggest desires is to work with Aamir Khan & they have never shared screen space.

"It has been my long pending desire to work with Aamir. Though nothing has shaped up so far but I wish it happens some day. It is every actresses wish to work with Aamir and I'm no exception to it."

About the IT raids, Priyanka said that the issue was blown out of proportion when the reality was something else. Reality seems to be very different these days I suppose, cause lately Priyanka has asserted that the facts have been distorted by the media so far as her 7 Khoon Maaf is concerned. The men were never supposed to be a part of promotion & there have been various kinds of stories circulating about John being pissed off. And we don’t understand as to why John is making noise. Then Priyanka comes to his rescue & I’m sure Annu Kapoor must still be thinking that Priyanka didn’t make out with him in 7 Khoon Maaf. Good for him!

But nevertheless, this woman manages to work in good flicks which revolve around her character. And here actresses need to learn something from Piggy Chops, Vidya & Rani.

Priyanka Chopra has finally defended John Abraham against the charges that he is not promoting his upcoming film 7 Khoon Maaf.

John just like the other male stars of the film was never supposed to be part of the promotion as it is solely Priyanka’s movie. She believes people are distorting the facts & creating controversies.

Priyanka says, "I have read the news about John not being part of promotions for 7 KHOON MAAF. But, the fact is that he was never supposed to be promoting the film as Vishal sir had already made up his mind to keep the male star cast away from promotional activities. Now, reading about controversies surrounding this makes no point when the fact is something else."

John Abraham is playing one of the seven husbands of Priyanka in 7 Khoon Maaf. But now that the film is about to be released and the promotional activities are at its peak, it has been disclosed that John is upset with director Vishal Bharadwaj and how he is running the promotions of the movie.

It is reported that Vishal is known for his fair attitude towards all the actors he works with. In 7 Khoon Maaf he decided to promote all the actors equally giving them all an equal attention during the promotion because each character is equally important in the story.

But John Abraham feels he is far more saleable commercially than many other male leads of the movie. He thought he would get special treatment during the promotion because he thinks other actors are not commercially equal to him. Anyway, both Vishal and John will maintain a cordial stand off in front of the media but this news is pretty much out there. 

John, I believe has had such an attitude problem before also when he didn't want to work with certain actresse. He sometimes thinks too highly of  himself.  Just like Shoba de he is so comfortable with influential people like the Bachchans. As it is, this movie is not even about any one male actor and is focused on Priyanka's character in the first place so all this hassle of having a cold war with the director was not even needed. It's about time John should realize even he is quite old now and there are many young actors in the industry who will sooner or later take over the scene. And as far as 7 Khoon Maaf is concerned, Priyanka alone is enough for the promotion of the movie as we can see.

Do you know who would be watching Priyanka Chopra very closely? Well no for a change it is not Shahid Kapoor. It is going to be another top heroine from the Indian cinema and it is no one else but Kareena Kapoor. It is being said that Kareena Kapoor will closely monitor Priyanka's performance in 7 Khoon Maaf, which is all set to release next week.

Priyanka has done her share of silly and unnecessary films like Pyar Impossible but every now and then she does work in a movie or give a mind blowing performance...just like Aitraaz, Fashion and Kaminey. This time round, it is predicted that Priyanka will get a lot of appreciation for her character based on a novel where she will marry 7 men and kill them in the course of her life. Already the promos have received a positive response from critics and audience. The music is being liked especially the song DARLING, which is the key song in the entire film.

So, Kareena is going to watch Priyanka closely no matter what because she likes to maintain a top notch position at the box office too. Kareena has an upper hand though because she is working with the main heroes and superstars of India like Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and Saif Ali Khan in 2011. But having said all that she is still not going to be all relaxed at Priyanka's much awaited performance. It is also possible that after seeing PC, Kareena would take some much needed risks as far as her acting is concerned because it's been a while her success is coming from films that have famous male actors and Kareena has smaller roles to assist them but the movies become hits eventually. Kareena must realize it is the men who are giving the hits and not her, unlike Priyanka who is normally the face of her hit movies, whenever they come in a few years.

Priyanka is pretty much in the news because of 7 Khoon Maaf. She was asked about her intimate scenes with all the co-stars and Priyanka said that the character marries 7 people and all marriages have intimacy along with other emotions. So, she tried to make every actor comfortable and did the scenes with all honesty giving the best   of her acting skills. 

She said, the intimate scenes were part of the character and she gave it her best shot. She said that she was most comfortable with John Abrahan since she already knew him well as they have worked in three films before. She said Neil Nitin Mukesh and Vivaan Shah were the best of pals as the moment Priyanka met them, she got along very well with them so the comfort zone was pretty much there. Alex who came from Russia was fun to be with and she loved his company. She said Irfaan Khan is one person who taught her a lot about acting and she loved working with him for the first time.

As for Annu Kapoor, Priyanka knew him for all her life as he is a friend of her father. But she admitted working with Naseeruddin Shah was what really gave her trouble. She was so nervous and scared of working with him whom she calls an institution of cinema himself. 

So from the looks of it Priyanka did try to make the most of her time with her 7 husbands and learnt something from each one of them.

7 Khoon Maaf is a much awaited movie in which Priyanka will be seen in a very different avatar where she will marry seven men and kill them during the span of time. The star cast is brilliant and Priyanka fans are waiting for the movie anxiously.

However, one of the husbands in the movie, played by Annu Kapoor has been a bit upset with Priyanka because he told the press that Priyanka refused to kiss him. 

While Priyanka clarified to the media that the scenes with Annu were planned to be done by a body double from the beginning because she was not at the location then. It was all pretty clear and had nothing to do with Annu Kapoor as he is trying to portray that this was purely Priyanka's decision.

I don't know, Priyanka doesn't mind getting physical with anybody, she can easily do scenes with anyone even if it is Annu Kapoor. Probably, she really was not at the location. And if he is still hanging on to this grudge that Priyanka didn't do a love scene with him, he should take a break. It doesn't suit him well.

Thus, this very thing made Priyanka and Annu Kapoor quite distant from each other. Priyanka also answered to the press when she was asked which husband did she want to kill the most...her reply was a very obvious Annu Kapoor.
