Shikha Puri impresses Hollywood director Reynold Baines

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.

Petite Bosky Sheth debuts as Zeenat Aman in The Three Kings - Bachchan unperturbed.

By Frank Franklyn – Futuristic Media Network

The gorgeous, sexy and petite Bosky Sheth is all set to star in her debut international film titled “The Three Kings”. The film is loosely based on the life of Parveen Babi and also has characters resembling noted film personality Mahesh Bhatt and others like Kabir Bedi and Bollywood stalwart Amitabh Bachchan who were important characters in the late Babi’s life.

Speaking to the media at a press interaction in Mumbai, the 19-year-old Bosky who originally hails from Ahmedabad said that she was “simply thrilled”.

When asked as to how it all happened, Bosky said, “I have been modelling for the last two years now and it was more or less a hobby. I am currently finishing my graduation in Commerce from a college in Mumbai. I had circulated my photos to all production houses and modelling agencies in Mumbai. In the first week of October, I got a call from Spectra Multimedia Films India – who represent White Lilac Films – who asked me to drop in for a screen and look test. I went and gave the look test and sort of forgot about it. To my utter surprise and disbelief, they called me a week later and asked me if I would like to do the role. I was simply stunned. Of course, I said yes. Who wouldn’t want such a challenging role?”

Bosky who has been modelling for the last two years has done several print and television commercials and also features in a couple of music videos. But this is her first big film project.

The script for The Three Kings has been penned by film journalist Flynn Remedios, who spent over three years researching the project. It will hit the floors end-November and is directed by Hollywood director Reynold Baines. The film is expected to be completed by end 2010 and will release in mid 2011.

While Mahesh Bhatt has welcomed the film, Amitabh Bachchan in an interview to news agency PTI said, he wouldn’t be affected. According to the PTI report, even as a new film threatens to rake up dirt about the alleged Parveen Babi-Amitabh Bachchan relationship, the superstar comes clear of the old accusations saying that such controversies have stopped affecting him.

The film 'Three Kings' by Hollywood director Reynold Baines reportedly revolves around the controversial actress and the three men in her life, director Mahesh Bhatt, actor Kabir Bedi and Bachchan, but the 'Shehen shah' of Bollywood is far from perturbed, PTI reported.

"I don't know where they are getting all this rubbish from because it's all untrue. But what can you do, it is another artiste's perception of who I am," Bachchan told PTI in an exclusive interview.

Apart from wife Jaya, Bachchan made the maximum films with Babi, including cult classics like 'Don' and 'Amar Akbar Anthony'.

Here’s what veteran director Mahesh Bhatt said to DNA, “"I've no imagined greatness to think that a film will misrepresent me. A creative person is free to interpret real-life incidents. I don't feel I will drag them to court even if they name me in the film. A real life story needs to be treated with a pinch of salt."
