<p>The trick is to make the 48-year-old look much younger than his age for the role of the poet. The makeup artiste has been working on Irrfan's face and body language to arrive at a look that would knock at least 10 years off Irrfan's actual age.<br /><br />"I play a 'shayar' who is completely in love with Priyanka Chopra. Yes, the makeup artiste has worked out a look around my strange face so that for the first time I look different. In any case, if one has to woo Priyanka, one automatically glows with romantic enthusiasm. She's very inspiring," Irrfan, told IANS.<br /><br />"I can't reveal any more about my character. But I must thank Vishal Bharadwaj for allowing me to court two of the most beautiful women on screen. It was Tabu in 'Maqbool' and now Priyanka in this film," said Irrfan.<br /><br />The actor played a love-stuck poet in Govind Nihalani's "Drishti" (1990) where he romanced an older woman, played by Dimple Kapadia. In "Saat Khoon Maaf" again Irrfan plays a besotted lover boy. And to help Irrfan get passionately poetic, there's the inimitable Gulzar's poetry that would be used for his character.<br /><br />Gulzar has apparently written some of his most romantic lines ever for Irrfan to woo Priyanka with. A diehard Gulzar, fan Priyanka can't wait to be wooed with the luscious poetry that Irrfan would be reciting. Bharadwaj is shooting the film in Kashmir.<br /></p>
