Priyanka Chopra shoots for Gunday cabaret song

Actress Priyanka Chopra, who is playing the female lead in period
drama Gunday, is currently shooting for a cabaret dance sequence for
the action-drama-cum-
romance. The film's director Ali Abbas
Zafar says 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 are 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, told IANS on Sunday.

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," said 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," said Zafar.
