Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra is all set to play a distinctive character in "Saat Khoon Maaf" - she has seven hubbies in the film.

While Naseeruddin Shah is playing her oldest husband, Neil Nitin Mukesh has just been roped in to play the youngest.

Neil's role in the film will need heavy physical change. He will apparently be unrecognizable on screen.

Neil, who is presently busy shooting for Yash Raj Films' "Lafange Parinday", said, "When I heard the script, I was zapped. This was something I had to do. I play one of Priyanka's husbands, the youngest of the lot. The fact that I get to be in the same film as actors like Naseeruddin Shah and Mohanlalji was incentive enough."

Apart from one, all the actors playing Priyanka's hubbies, comprising an unidentified American actor, have been confirmed.

The actor begins shooting for the film from April.

"I've a somewhat crowded date diary this year. I join Abbas-Mustan from June to December for 'Italian Job'," said Neil who recently moved to Powai to be near Yash Raj Studios to avoid the daily traffic to and from South Mumbai.

"The traffic on that side of town is just as bad. It's excruciating to travel even from Powai to Yash Raj Studios. On Thursday I had a day off and I invited my mom over to do up my new home the way I wanted it."

Neil, who has been a part of a joint family all his life, said that he has no time to ignore his family members in Powai. "Because I use that old flat of ours only to sleep? alone!"
