At the press conference, Bhardwaj was all praise for Chopra. "When I cast her in Kaminey, I didn't know her work that well," the director said. "But soon I realised that she is a very intelligent person, she has talent and the hunger to work.

"Priyanka wanted to take chances, otherwise it would have been very difficult for another mainstream actor to play this role," he added.
The Berlinale is the first major international festival of the year and a good indication of the films to open during the year. This year's festival featured nearly 300 films in three major sections -- Competition, Panorama and Forum, plus a complete retrospective of works by Swedish master Ingmar Bergman, as well as a special presentation: the 35th anniversary restored version of Martin Scorsese's 1976 classic Taxi Driver, shown in 4K digital projection.
