Priyanka Chopra and Zaira Wasim as mother - daughter has compatibility

In Shonali Bose's new film where Priyanka
Chopra has been cast as Zaira Wasim's
mother, there is a practical compatibility
problem: Priyanka doesn't look old enough
to be Zaira Wasim's mother. At the same
time, Priyanka has no issues playing mother
to a grownup daughter as the film deals
with a subject she strongly believes in.
Says a source close to the project, "Not for a
minute did Priyanka hesitate in saying yes
to Shonali's film. The subject grabbed her
attention immediately. Nor did she have a
problem with playing Zaira Wasim's mother.
The problem is, she looks way too hot and
sexy to be an 18-year old's mother.
We now hear that the film may resort to
prosthetics and makeup to make Priyanka
look convincing in the role of a mother.
"She has played a mother to a teenage girl
9 years ago in Yash Raj Film's Pyaar
Impossible. So why would she have
problems playing another teenage girl's
mother now? The problem is a practical
one. How to make this sensuous stunner
look like a mother to an 18-year old? says
the source.
Significantly, Meher Vij who is just 14 years
older than Zaira played her mother in Secret
Superstar. It's interesting that our leading
ladies no longer have a problem with
playing a mom on screen. A decade ago
Aparna Sen had to shelve her Hindi film
because no major heroine was willing to
play mother to a 12-year old. Bipasha Basu
had almost been finalized. When she
chickened out at the last minute.

Priyanka's PR could have made it less obvious.
