Filmmaker Suneel Darshan revealed he decided to cast Priyanka Chopra for his 2003 film 'Andaaz' within 15 minutes after meeting her. "When I first saw her, I was shocked because she wasn't a conventional beauty...Her voice was 'zabardast' (powerful), and her eyes were 'khatarnak' (dangerous)," he recalled. Suneel stated he told Priyanka she'd one day have a stature like Rekha's.
