Abbas-Mustan’s
romantic
thriller
Aitraaz
is
considered
to
be
one
of
Priyanka
Chopra’s
best
works
on
screen.
Considered
to
be
a
turning
point
in
her
career,
the
actress
essayed
the
role
of
the
main
antagonist
Mrs
Sonia
Roy.
But
do
you
folks
know
that
the
Barfi!
actress
was
a
apprehensive
about
taking
up
a
negative
role
in
this
Akshay
Kumar-Kareena
Kapoor
Khan
starrer?
Andaaz
producer
Suneel
Darshan,
in
his
recent
interview
with
RJ
Siddharth
Kannan
revealed
that
neither
Akshay
nor
Priyanka
were
thrilled
with
the
idea
of
doing
Aitraaz.
He
revealed
that
the
Mary
Kom
star
even
cried
when
she
was
approached
for
the
vamp’s
role
in
the
film.
Suneel
revealed,
“Akshay
and
Priyanka
both
were
keen
not
to
do
the
movie.
But
I
used
my
bonding
with
them
to
see
that
they
came
in.
Akshay
had
issues
with
the
finances,
I
said
‘what
does
a
little
less
or
more
money
matter
in
a
movie,
think
of
the
project.’
And
Priyanka
Chopra,
she
said
she
was
approached
for
a
vamp’s
role
and
she
was
so
upset,
she
cried,
she
went
home
and
she
went
to
sleep.”
The
producer
said
that
he
told
Priyanka
to
return
back
to
his
office
after
she
woke
up.
When
she
visited
him,
he
‘drilled’
the
importance
of
her
doing
the
role
in
her
head
and
finally,
she
agreed
to
do
the
film.
Suneel
also
recalled
his
first
meeting
with
PeeCee
and
shared
that
he
found
her
different
from
actresses
like
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan,
Juhi
Chawla,
Meenakshi
Sheshadri
and
others
with
him
he
had
collaborated
in
the
past.
He
shared,
“I
made
her
sit
down
and
tried
to
talk
to
her.
In
15
minutes,
I
was
assured
of
only
two
things,
either
I
was
gonna
make
a
huge
success
of
this
girl,
or
this
was
going
to
be
a
big
disaster.”
Suneel
told
Siddharth
that
while
he
found
her
eyes,
mellifluous
voice
and
her
hunger
for
acting
to
be
her
plus
points,
he
also
pointed
out
that
she
had
a
‘few
defects’ which
needed
to
be
corrected
at
that
point
of
time.
“My
entire
unit,
my
entire
team,
Raj
Kanwar,
Akshay
and
whoever
was
there
would
say
‘Oh
Lara
Dutta,
Lara
Dutta’.
I
said
Lara
Dutta
is
good
but
the
dark
horse,
the
Rekha
is
coming.
And
that
is
Priyanka
Chopra,” the
producer
told
Siddharth.
Priyanka
Chopra
received
rave
reviews
for
her
performance
in
Aitraaz
and
even
bagged
the
Filmfare
Best
Performance
In
A
Negative
Role
award.
Aitraaz
revolves
around
a
man
who
is
falsely
accused
of
rape
by
his
ex-girlfriend
who
happens
to
be
his
employer’s
wife,
after
he
turns
down
her
advances.
