Overview

  • Chopra Jonas posted behind-the-scenes photos from the 2009 film, calling Kaminey a “turning point” and recounting how a missed call from Bhardwaj while shooting Dostana in Miami led to her casting.
  • She noted that Bhardwaj assured her eight scenes would become “so much more” and honored his promise by casting her again in his 2011 film 7 Khoon Maaf.
  • Vishal Bhardwaj reshared her post with an emotional tribute, recalling their collaboration and asking in jest if she still held a grudge.
  • Fans and media are speculating—without official confirmation—that her nostalgia posts could signal a Hindi cinema comeback, particularly in SS Rajamouli’s SSMB29 project.
  • Kaminey, released on August 14, 2009, remains a cult Mumbai-underworld thriller that helped shift Chopra Jonas’s image toward director-led, critically acclaimed roles.
