Actress Priyanka Chopra reminisced about her 2009 film Kaminey, which starred Shahid Kapoor in the lead. On Monday, she recalled receiving a missed call from director Vishal Bhardwaj while shooting Dostana
with John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan in Miami, Florida. She was shocked, as she had always wanted to work with him but doubted he would cast her because of her ‘commercial’ image at the time.
On Monday, Priyanka shares several photos and a video to mark 16 years of Kaminey, with a heartfelt caption, that read: "Sweety Bhope. I was filming for Dostana in Miami, Florida with @tarun_mansukhani directing and @bachchan and @thejohnabraham starring. 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."

Further, the actress shared that Vishal told her he would come to see her in Miami, and he did. During the meeting, he narrated the film’s story, to which she remarked that her character had only about eight scenes. Vishal responded that if she worked with him on Kaminey, she would end up being so much more, and she eventually did.
