Priyanka surprise

PriyankawebDirector of “Barfi”, Anurag Basu reveals that if Ranbir Kapoor would have said NO to the film, “Barfi” wouldn’t have been made.

Barfi is a romantic comedy, revolving around a boy named Murphy, whom everyone calls Barfi. Though he is physically challenged, he is quite a charmer and is ever ready with “n” number of pranks in his head.

Priyanka too, has a very strong role in the film. What’s interesting is that, Anurag Basu was not very sure about PC.

Though Priyanka felt that she could play the part, more so since she had played complex characters, Anurag was busy hunting for a newer face.”

A three-day workshop was conducted about which no one else knew other than Basu and PC.

“Well, all I can say is that hum dono ka iss workshop ke baad darr nikal gaya tha”, smiles Basu, “Honestly both of us were apprehensive and credit goes to Priyanka that she participated in the workshop as if she was preparing for her first film. Trust me; she is going to surprise everyone. I am sure even she herself will be surprised since she doesn’t know what she has given to the film.”
