Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra took her fans on a nostalgic journey as she shared a series of throwback photos from Vishal Bhardwaj’s 2009 cult classic Kaminey, also starring Shahid Kapoor.

16 Years of Kaminey: Priyanka Chopra calls the film a ‘turning point’ in her career
In a heartfelt note accompanying the photos, Chopra revealed how she landed the role while she was shooting for Dostana in Miami with director Tarun Mansukhani, Abhishek Bachchan, and John Abraham. “One cool evening after we wrapped shoot, I saw a missed call from Vishal Bhardwaj. What?? I had wanted to work with him forever and never thought he would cast me because of my ‘commercial’ image at the time,” she wrote.
Recalling her first meeting with Bhardwaj, she shared, “He said he’d like to come see me, and he did. To Miami. I remember him telling me the story and I said, “Well, she has approximately 8 scenes.” And he said, “With us working on it, it will end up being so much more. Trust me.” And I did.”
Chopra added that, “He promised he would make something incredible for me after this in appreciation for doing the part. But honestly, I was just greedy to work with him. A few years later, we did 7 Khoon Maaf.”
Reflecting on Kaminey’s impact, she wrote, “#Kaminey remains a turning point in my career. I learned so much from the master @vishalrbhardwaj, how to research, prepare and then surrender to the part. @shahidkapoor was sensational in his double role. #AmolGupte was unforgettable. I also met @mubinarattonsey for the first time on this set. Those were the times. 16 years ago! Thought I’d share the experience. Have any of you watched it?” she concluded.
The post quickly gained attention, with fans flooding the comments section with their love for her performance and the film’s cult status. For many, Kaminey remains a benchmark of Vishal Bhardwaj’s craft and Priyanka Chopra’s versatility as an actress.
