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.

Look alikes or Copy Cats: Kareena Kapoor in Kurbaan, Bosky Sheth in The Three Kings




By Ashwin Salian – Futuristic Media Network

Spectra Multimedia Films about two weeks ago released an advertisement in a Bollywood Trade Publication for their recently launched project The Three Kings which looked very much like the Kurbaan poster featuring Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan. We couldn’t help observing the striking similarity.

The colour scheme of the poster of The Three Kings is similar to that of Kurbaan and the actress featured is Bosky Sheth who plays Zeenat Aman in the film. The actress is also bare-backed like Kareena Kapoor though there is no male, unlike in Kurbaan where Saif poses with his lady love. The Three Kings which is based on the life of Parveen Babi, also stars Shikha Puri who plays Babi.

Even the colour scheme of the lettering is quite similar. We couldn’t help wondering who copied whom. When we contacted Bosky Sheth she said that she couldn’t comment on the designs, layouts and artwork. “We had shot some stills for the film about three weeks ago. The advertisement was designed much before the Kurbaan posters and ads came out all over the place, said script writer and Executive Producer Flynn Remedios, refusing to comment any further on the similarity in the layout.

We wonder if this is very strange and rare coincidence or a clear case of Copy Cats at work. Anyway the striking resemblence of the two designs including the similarity in the fonts and colours is amazing.
