Rakhi Sawant in Rahul Rawail’s comedy

Rakhi Sawant who was happy being the item bomb in films will now cast in a different role. In Rahul Rawail's ensemble comedy Buddha Mar Gaya which starts shooting on Jan 25, Rakhi has been cast in a different role.

"I was hunting for a girl to play the role of a crazy, candid and a fearless girl called Kim in my comedy. No one seemed to fill the bill… until I saw Rakhi on Bigg Boss. I loved her spirit and honesty in the show.

I immediately decided to cast her," says Rakhi. The movie also casts Om Puri, Paresh Rawal, Anupam Kher (who plays a corpse!) and Mobhano Modi-Kotwal. "Rakhi has no item songs, no strip-tease element to provide in Buddha Mar Gaya. I'm glad I found her to play the role. I can't think of anyone better," adds Rawail.
