Susanna's Seven Husbands

Vishal's next, the what-is-the-title-after-all Saath Khoon Maaf/Ek Bataa Saath is based on Ruskin Bond's short story "Susanna's Seven Husbands". This is Vishal's second collaboration with the veteran writer after "The Blue Umbrella".

According to an interview with Bond, Bond describes Susanna thus:


"My protagonist is a femme fatale who bumps off her seven husbands… I had to find ingenious ways of bumping seven people off while writing the story. Not something that I am used to contemplating generally,"


And it seems Vishal's begun shooting for the film in Coorg with a hairline fracture sustained while playing tennis.

Now it is Saath Khoon Maaf: Husband 6 locked in

I wonder if the reporters make up their own titles as they go along, while reporting on movies in production. I have heard Seven, Seven Husbands, Ek Bataa Saath as potential titles. I am guessing they are talking about the same movie.

Neil Nitin Mukesh is playing one of the husbands, and seems to be the sixth one roped in to play the part of Priyanka Chopra's short-lived husbands. But I could identify only other two from the reports - Naseeruddin Shah and Mohanlal (Kamal Hassan would have been enough to play all!)

From the name and the number being touted, I am guessing PC leaves her husbands quick and dead.

I hope Mini Mukesh dies a gruesome death right into the 1st minute of the movie. He is acting के नाम पे धब्बा! Personal view, thats all.
