By Ashwin Salian – Futurisitic Media Network

Actress Shikha Puri who will be seen playing Parveen Babi in a film titled “The Three Kings” has impressed her Hollywood director Reynold Baines so much that the latter even offered her a role in a new film that he is planning to do.

Baines who was visiting India last week caught up with Shikha Puri who was not keeping too well. The celebrated director of short films and blockbusters alike, dropped in to say ‘Hello’. Shika apparently put her best foot forward and so impressed the man that he immediately offered her another project.

Shikha has already signed on a Reynold Baines directed movie The Three Kings that features characters that bear some resemblance to Mahesh Bhat, Parveen Babi, Zeenat Aman and Amitabh Bachchan. While the film is supposedly based on Parveen Babi’s life, it is a partly fictionalised version of Parveen Babi’s fast life. The film is produced jointly by Spectra Multimedia Films (I) and White Tulip Films of Canada.

The film is in Hinglish and is primarily targeted at an international audience, but will also be screened in India, Flynn Remedios, the script writer of the film said.

Shikha Puri was last seen in a Reality Show , Sarkar Ki Duniya on Real, Cash Cab on UTV and Exhausted on Channel V is the new babe to watch out for. She has done several ad films and print ads in less than six months of entering Bollywood.
