Annu Kapoor recently opened up about his experience working with Priyanka Chopra in 7 Khoon Maaf. Back in 2011, rumors circulated that the actress had refused to kiss him during filming. Reflecting on the incident now, Kapoor remarked that she likely wouldn't have hesitated if he had been the film's hero, adding that his appearance and lack of the 'hero' persona might have been the reason for the discomfort.

During an interview with ANI, Annu Kapoor reflected on an incident from the filming of 7 Khoon Maaf. His character, Inspector Keemat Lal, was part of an intimate scene with Priyanka Chopra. When Vishal Bhardwaj mentioned that Priyanka felt uneasy about it, Kapoor suggested cutting the scene.

However, Vishal Bhardwaj insisted the scene needed to be filmed, so Kapoor completed it and even delivered a solo shot that earned praise from the crew. Despite this, rumors quickly spread that Priyanka had refused to kiss him. Reflecting on the situation, Annu noted that if he had been the leading man, there likely wouldn’t have been an issue. 

He said, “The simple thing is, if I were a hero, Priyanka Chopra wouldn't have had any problem. She doesn't have any problem kissing a hero. Then there is me. I don't have a face. I don't have a personality. That's why there's a problem."
