Agnidev wants Priyanka Chopra to play Parveen Babi
Agnidev Chatterjee is planning his most ambitious project till date loosely based on Parveen babi's life; might launch son Akash in the film

The shooting of Tere Ane Se almost over, Agnidev Chatterjee is busy planning his most ambitious project till date. Titled Disturbed, the bilingual movie to be made both in Hindi and Bengali is loosely based on film actress Parveen Babi's life.

Mahesh Bhatt had earlier made two films on the actress' life, Arth and Woh Lamhe. While he wrote and directed Arth, a semiautobiographical film about his relationship with Babi, he later wrote and produced Woh Lamhe, which too was based on facts about the duo's relationship.

Agnidev, however, is sure of approaching the subject from another point of view. "My film is about an actress who, at the peak of her career, learns to deal with paranoid schizophrenia. Soon, stardom and adulation make no difference to her. It's sad that one of the most sought-after actresses of her era, who lived life on her own terms, fell prey to paranoia," says the director.

Agnidev, however, won't make the Hindi version without Priyanka Chopra's nod. "I have approached her through my DoP, Kabir Lal. Let's see, if things work out... else, I will start the Bengali version by May-June. There is a strong possibility that I will launch my son, Akash, as a struggling director, who happens to be the actress' love interest. I am yet to zero in on the female lead," adds the director.

Not again! There was Arth, Phir Teri Kahani Yaad and Woh Lamhe loosely based on Parveen Babi.


The only difference thankfully not by Bhatt this time!


PC is the right choice if they showcase her entire journey and not just the schizophrenic chapter.
