Actress Priyanka Chopra is playing the female lead in period
drama “Gunday” and she is presently shooting for a cabaret dance sequence for
the action-drama-cum-romance. The film’s director Ali Abbas Zafar tells he is
using an original song.
Set between 1971 to 1988 in Kolkata, the film deals with
black marketing mafia men Bikram (Ranveer Singh) and Bala (Arjun Kapoor).
“We started shooting for the particular cabaret song three
days ago in Mumbai and there is three more days to do. It’s a fresh cabaret
song and not a remix of any old song. It’s a very big sort of cabaret song in
the film,” Zafar, who earlier wielded megaphone for “Mere Brother Ki Dulhan”, said.
Did you ask Priyanka to take reference from any legendary
Bollywood actress for the song?
“Not really. Actually, I have been doing my research for
quite some time on Kolkata and I discovered Kolkata was high on glamour
quotient since 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. In that way, Kolkata is quite western,”
told Zafar.
The director has created a coal mine and informed that the
last 30 days of shoot is left.
“We have created a coal mine set and we are left to do a
huge action sequence between Irrfan, Arjun Kapoor and Ranveer Singh. Obviously,
we can’t shoot in real coal mine so we had to create the set for the period
film,” told Zafar.
