Filmmaker searching Divya Bharti's look-alike

Divya Bharti shot to fame at a very young age with films like "Shola Aur Shabnam" and "Deewana". She died at a tender age of 19 in 1993, and the cause of her death remains a mystery.

It has a connect with Sandhu's film, but he denies it.

"I don't want to say whether it's a biopic or not. All I can say is that it is the story of a young girl who becomes a star at a very young age and also dies at a very young age," Sandhu told media persons.

"I have never said that the film is a biopic. The media has been saying so. But Divya Bharti has been my all-time favourite actress," he added.

Currently he is busy casting for his film.

"I am just back in India after auditioning for the leading lady for my film. I have been to London, Italy and Greece to get the perfect actress for my film," he said.

Asked if he is searching for a look-alike of Divya Bharti, he said: "Yes, sort of. We want someone who looks like her."

Of the film's shooting schedule, he said: "I will finish the shooting in just five months. We are planning to shoot the entire film in India, London and Dubai."
