Imtiaz won't woo Priyanka!

If it weren't for Jab We Met director Imtiaz Ali's shy nature, he would have been playing a poet who tries to woo Priyanka Chopra in Vishal Bhardwaj's Ek Batta Saat.
However, the very thought of romancing Priyanka by impressing her with his poems was enough for Imtiaz to develop cold feet. What a pity. Imtiaz would have been the perfect choice with his flowing, wavy hair and laidback look.
A source said, "Vishal was keen to cast Imtiaz in the film and the two had already discussed the film. Imtiaz too had agreed initially. Who would not want to work with Vishal? But the moment Imtiaz learnt that he had to mouth romantic shaiyaris to woo Priyanka Chopra, he immediately backed out.
He was clearly feeling shy at the thought of being lovey-dovey with Priyanka on screen. Vishal tried to convince Imtiaz that he would fit the bill because of his looks, but Imtiaz politely turned down the offer. Vishal, of course, understood Imtiaz's point of view and they both had a good laugh over it." Incidentally, Imtiaz is no stranger to acting. He was a popular theatre actor and played a cop in Anurag Kashyap's Black Friday before he turned director.
Ek Batta Saat has Priyanka romancing seven men including John Abraham, Arshad Warsi, Mohan Lal and Naseeruddin Shah. The rest of the casting is still under process.
We sent text messages to Vishal and Imtiaz but both of them remained unavailable for comment.
