<p>Actress Priyanka Chopra is playing the female lead in period drama Gunday, opposite Arjun Kapoor and Ranveer Singh. Apparently, the actress is currently shooting for a cabaret dance sequence for the action-drama-cum-romance. The film’s director, Ali Abbas Zafar, says he is using an original song for the sequence, which is sure to set the screen on fire.<br /><br /></p>.<p>Set between 1971 to 1988 in Kolkata, the film deals with two black marketing mafia men Bikram (played by Ranveer Singh) and Bala (portrayed by Arjun Kapoor).<br /><br /> “We started shooting for this particular cabaret song three days ago in Mumbai and there are three more days to go. It’s a fresh cabaret song and not a remix of any old song. It’s a very big sort of cabaret song in the film,” says Ali, who earlier wielded the megaphone for Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. <br /><br />Ask him whether he inspired Priyanka by asking her to take reference from any legendary Bollywood actress for the song, and the film-maker replies, “Not really. <br /><br />Actually, I have been doing my research for quite some time on Kolkata and I discovered that Kolkata was high on the glamour quotient during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. In that way, Kolkata is quite western.”<br /><br />The director has actually created a coal mine set for the movie and informs that the last 30 days of shoot are left to complete. “We have created a coal mine set and we are left to do a huge action sequence between Irrfan, Arjun Kapoor and Ranveer Singh. <br /><br />Obviously, we can’t shoot in a real coal mine so we had to create the set for the period film,” he explains.<br /></p>
