Priyanka Chopra to play Amrita Pritam in biopic 'Gustaakhiyaan'

Priyanka Chopra seems to me on a roll. The 'Mary Kom' star seems to be every director's favourite when it comes to portraying female protagonist on screen. The latest role Priyanka will plan is that of Sahir Ludhianvi's love interest in his biopic.

The actress will play the character of literary giant Amrita Pritam, who was the love interest of well known poet-lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi.

The working title of the biopic is Gustaakhiyaan.

Ever since the project was announced Bollywood has been speculating as to who would play the role of Amrita. Actor Irrfan Khan will portray the poet-lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi in the biopic.

Now reports have confirmed that Priyanka has agreed to play the role in the upcoming film.

Ashi Dua is directing the film. The director believes that Priyanka Chopra is the perfect choice for Amrita's role.

Apparently Amrita Pritam had an unrequited love for poet-lyrist Sahir Ludhianvi. Her affection for Ludhianvi is said to be depicted in the autobiography Rasidi Ticket by Amrita Pritam.
