His Punjabi film "Sarvann" released yesterday and director Karaan Guliani says he now hopes to make a film starring his producer, actress Priyanka Chopra.
The director says he had approached the "Quantico" star for a Hindi film, and when that did not materialise, "Sarvann" happened.
"Yes, I approached her for my Hindi film. Well, I believe in making one film at a time. However, I met her few times recently during the post production but we forgot to even talk about the Hindi film. For sure now after release of 'Sarvann', I will speak to her (for a film)," Karaan told PTI.
The director also feels Priyanka would be equally willing to do a Punjabi film.
When asked if he thinks Priyanka would be eager to do a full fledged Punjabi film, he says, "Why not ? I am sure she would love to do that. She believes in story and script a lot. Language any which ways can never be barrier to tell a good story."
With "Sarvann", Priyanka's mother Madhu has stepped into Punjabi film production with their home banner Purple Pebble Pictures. The film stars Amrinder Gill, Simi Chahal, Ranjit Bawa, Sardar Sohi and Binnu Dhillon.
Karaan says when Priyanka heard the script she was instantly on board to back the film.
"I do remember the reaction clearly. She was super excited. She said 'Karaan, you please focus on the film, rest don't worry about the production budget and all'. I was the happiest person on this earth to hear it.
