Monday, 1st Sept 2014, 3:53 PM IST There has been much secrecy about the leading ladies of Madhur Bhandarkar’s new movie ‘Calendar Girls’; to the point of no cameras being allowed on the film’s set. However it has been revealed that Akanksha Puri is one of Madhur Bhandarkar’s actresses who is starring in the movie.
Akanksha has done a few films in the South, starring next to seasoned stars like Mammooty. Although most of her films did not do well in the box office, her past work includes ‘Praise The Lord’, ‘Alex Pandian’ and ‘Samrajyam II: Son of Alexander’.
A source close to the film revealed, “Yes, Akanksha Puri is part of the film. She has done some films in the South film industry and is making her Bollywood debut with ‘Calendar Girls’.”
Apparently, a lot of girls were auditioned, and of them five fresh faces were chosen by Madhur. With Akanksha on board however, it seems like not all the leading ladies from‘Calendar Girls’ were Madhur’s discoveries.
‘Calendar Girls’ revolves around the lives of models that get featured in famous calendars and thereafter gain popularity. The film also features a character based on the liquid magnate Vijay Mallya. |
