Priyanka Chopra inspires Shurpanakha’s look

Did we ever think how beautiful was Raavan’s sister Shurpanakha? Well the makers of the 3-D animation film Ramayan - The Epic were sure that she has to look beautiful in the film. So, while modeling Shurpanakha’s look they referred to one of the most stunning females of Bollywood, Priyanka Chopra.

According to the director Chetan Desai they were in dilemma for Shurpanakha’s look as they couldn’t find any Indian beauty that would match her face. Raavan’s sister in Hindu mythology is known to be the most beautiful woman.

“We had to find someone as stunning as Shurpanakha… It was then that I remembered Priyanka in Aitraaz and how she looked then,” says Chetan. So Priyanka’s basic look from Aitraaz made the animated Shurpanakha beautiful.

Ramayan - The Epic, a Ketan Mehta dream project on the famous epic the Ramayan, is ready to release on October 15. For the film Juhi Chawla has given voice to Sita, Manoj Bajpai has done it for Ram and Raavan’s villainous voice is of Ashutosh Rana.
