‘Friends in need are friends indeed’. Well only a true friend will be able to help this actor-producer who is facing a hard time finding the female lead of his next film. Known to be a perfectionist who launches new faces with his projects, the superstar is having trouble finding young actors for the upcoming project which was announced this year. According to reports, his home production will be a remake of a Hollywood superhit film.
The story would revolve around the actor who falls in love with the female lead and meets her in three phases of her life – first in school, then living an unconventional lifestyle and finally as a mature woman. The actor, who has not had a successful hit in a long while, decided to change the casting director when he could not find a suitable fresher for the film, as the role is performance oriented.
Apparently, the new casting director tried to find somebody suitable to portray the female lead and the actor also called 2 of his close friends who are established actresses. However, being choosy as they are, one of the actresses declined the offer whereas the other is still thinking over it while the superstar is trying really hard to convince her. Another reason that the makers are unable to find someone to do the role, is that the female character in the film is not meaty enough. She comes and makes three appearances, however it is not something that top actresses want to do.
Buzz is that the superstar and the said actress are pretty close and comfortable in working with each other and hopefully she will say yes. Otherwise, the actor-producer may have to postpone his home production for now.
