Jacqueline  Fernandez To Play Priya Rajvansh

Actress Priya Rajvansh worked exclusively for filmmaker Chetan Anand. He  invited her from her London where she studied acting . to be  the heroine  of  the classic war saga Haqeeqat .

After this, she never left India  and worked exclusively as Chetan  Anand’s  leading lady in Heer Ranjha, Hanste Zakhm , Hindustan Ki Kasam , Kudrat and Haathon Ki Lakeeren .  Ms Rajvansh was brutally murdered  on 27 March 2,000.

Now director Pradeep Sarkar is  all set to bring Priya Rajvansh’s story on screen.  Jacqueline Fernandes will play Ms Rajvansh.  Producer Deepak Mukut confirms this  capricious casting.It is not clear  how  Fernandez, who  apparently had never heard of Priya Rajvansh when  approached  for  the  part, fits  the  bill.

For starters   director Pradeep Sarkar has  asked  Fernandez to watch  Priya Rajvansh in  the seven  films that she   did with Chetan Anand,  one  of which Sahib Bahadur never  got released.  Among the  rest  of Rajvansh’s   repertoire Hanste   Zakhm where she played a sex worker stands out.

The immortal songs of Priya Rajvansh:

1. Zara si aahat : Haqeeqat
2. Aaj socha toh aansoon bhar aaye: Hanste Zakhm
3. Miley na  tum toh hum ghabraye: Heera Ranjha
4. Do dil  toote  do dil hare: Heer Ranjha
5. Hai tere saath meri wafaa: Hindustan  Ki Kasam.
6. Mushqil hai jeena: Sahib Bahadur
7. Sajti hai yuhi mehfil : Kudrat
