Thursday, 11th Sept 2014, 6:27 PM IST Sujoy Ghosh’s next project ‘Durga Rani Singh’ was announced long back, but the film has not yet started rolling because the lead actress of the film is not yet finalized. The first choice for the film was Vidya Balan, but the actress opted out of the film, then the movie was offered to Kangana Ranaut and even she refused to do the movie and later on, even Kareena KapoorKhan was offered the film, but the actress said a no for it. Well now, reportedly Sujoy Ghosh is planning to cast Shilpa Shukla as the female lead in the film. It is learnt that there are a few intimate scenes in the film because of which Vidya, Kangana and Kareena decided to back out of the film; and as Shilpa is ready to do the intimate scenes, Sujoy wants to sign her. A source said, “Shilpa Shukla of ‘Chak De India’ and ‘B.A.Pass’ fame has been offered the part, which comes as quite a surprise considering the names of A-listers had been short-listed earlier. Buzz is that the film has a couple of intimate scenes and the superstar actresses were apprehensive about them. So now Shilpa is most likely to bag the part. As of now only Irrfan Khan is a confirmed member of the cast.” |
