Competition hots up
TWO of Bollywood's top divas are at war over a coveted role in Majid Majidi's under-production film. The Iranian maestro, who is at present shooting in Mumbai, is looking for a perfect dhoban', and his Indian producers are keen that a top star essay that role. A leggy glamazon with Hollywood ambitions was short-listed, but her current commitment to a superstar director-- no less a prima donna himself--may jeopardise her chances. Meanwhile, this fair beauty, a well-known spitfire who has had several run-ins with the leggy glamazon in the past, has jumped into the fray, assuring the Iranian director that she can play the role of the dhoban' far more realistically than her rival, because during her struggling days she actually washed her own clothes.
Even as this game of one-upmanship continues --we'll let you know who gets the better of the other -- we're happy to report that young director Amar Kaushik has been selected to assist Majidi on the project. Kaushik's moving short film Aaba has just been selected in the competition section at the Berlin Film Festival. Majidi, we hear, loved the film, and offered Kaushik the job on his film.
