Barring one shot that brings two of her screen husbands together for a fleeting moment, none of the seven actors who play Priyanka Chopra's husbandsu00a0 in 7 Khoon Maaf ever appear together in one scene.

"That's how Vishal (Bharadwaj) designed the projects. The seven men form seven segments in Priyanka's life," says a source.

In fact, while shooting, Bharadwaj made sure none of the actors bumped into each other on set, and planned their schedules accordingly.

Chopra's character, Suzanna,u00a0 kills each husband before moving on to the next. The director wanted a sense of continuity created using only the protagonist. "Even after the shoot was completed, none of the actors has been allowed to see a segment featuring another," says the source.

Bharadwaj has now decided to get the seven 'husbands' together on one platform for the film's promotion.

And that can be a logistical nightmare considering all seven actors will have to make it for publicity events that are expected to span 12 cities. "Vishal is clear. Either all of them arrive, or none. Else, Priyanka will promote the film alone," the source says.

Naseeruddin Shah, who is taking a sabbatical from films this year, Anu Kapoor and Russian actor Alexandr Dyanchenko have agreed to be present, but John Abraham, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Irrfan Khan are finding it tough to coordinate their dates.
