Welcome back, Zee!

Yesteryear's hottest actress Zeenat Aman is all set to don the pancake and face the camera to play the lead role once again for Nileish Malhotra's Monopoly-The game of money. The first, month-long schedule will be shot in Canada.

Confirming the news, Zeenat Aman said, "Yes I have signed Nileish's film and am looking forward to shoot for it."

Zeenat, however, refused to divulge further details about the character that she plays in the film. "I am not comfortable talking about my role right now. Let me complete the first schedule. I will talk to the media then," she said.

Debutante director Neliesh Malhotra said that it was while he was penning down the script of the film that he figured that the only actress who could justice to the lead character is Zeenat Aman and hence approached her for it.

Malhotra said, "I can never forget my first encounter with Zeenat Aman. She was graceful and welcomed me warmly. I was amazed by the way she has maintained her health and body. She looks as gorgeous as ever. She patiently listened to the narration and after I had finished, I thought she would say, 'I will think about it and let you know.' But to my surprise, she said 'yes' instantly!"

When asked if he felt responsible because he'd have to justify Zeenat Aman's presence in Monopoly-The game of money, Malhotra replied, "Of course I have the confidence! Do you think I would have dared to approach a star like Zeenat Aman if I felt I could not do justice to her presence in my film?"

Zeenat Aman was last seen playing Alice Rodriguez De Fonseca in Kaizaad Gustaad's Boom.
