Who is Priyanka Chopra playing anyway?

While it is known that Priyanka Chopra plays an item girl-turned-politician in Madhur Bhandarkar's Madamjee.

Obviously, the tale closely mirrors the real-life story of an actual star wife, because it is expected to borrow elements from the life of the woman in question, whose husband has gotten himself into some serious trouble.

Says a source, "In Madamjee, PC's character used to be an item girl. After she gets married to the star, her husband has to personally request and often buy off titillating footage of his wife in her past avatar."

Obviously, none of the film's team is speaking about their reference point for Priyanka's character. But there is much secret talk about it within the film industry.

Says a director-friend of Priyanka's, "Her role in Madamjee definitely has prominent shades taken from the star-wife's life. It's not sleazy but it's going to be talked about because everyone will recognise whom PC is playing."
