Mumbai, November 21: Actress Shikha Puri, who will be seen playing Parveen Babi in a film titled The Three Kings, has impressed her Hollywood director Reynold Baines so much that the latter even offered her a role in a new English film that he is planning to do.
Baines who visited India last week caught up with Shikha Puri as she was not keeping too well. The celebrated director of short films and blockbusters alike, dropped in to say ‘hello’. Shika apparently put her best foot forward and impressed the man so much so that he immediately offered her another project.
Shikha has already signed on a Reynold Baines directed movie The Three Kings that features characters that bear some resemblance to Mahesh Bhat, Parveen Babi, Zeenat Aman and Amitabh Bachchan. While the film is supposedly based on Parveen Babi’s life, it is a partly fictionalised version of Parveen Babi’s fast love life.
“The film is produced jointly by Spectra Multimedia Films (I) and White Tulip Films of Canada. It is in Hinglish and primarily target an international audience, but will also be screened in India,” Flynn Remedios, the script writer of the film said.
Shikha Puri, who was last seen in a Reality Show, Sarkar Ki Duniya on Real, Cash Cab on UTV and Exhausted on Channel V, is the new babe to watch out for. She has done several ad films and print ads in less than six months of entering Bollywood.
