Ghai in search of his lucky girl

[1]

Filmmaker Subhash Ghai is on a frantic search for the leading lady of his next film Kaanchi. The man, who is touted as the original showman of Bollywood, is known to have created stars like Madhuri Dixit and Sridevi at a time when nobody in the industry recognised them.

Two decades have passed since then but the man is still confident that he can repeat history. He says, “After going through the script of Kaanchi, we are all very sure that any girl who plays this role is going to be a superstar overnight once the film is released.” Ask him exactly what kind of girl he has in mind for the role, and the filmmaker says, “I am looking for someone who is aged between 19 and 21. She needs to have an athletic appearance and should be an extrovert by nature. She also needs to be talented, and the rest of the requirements can be met through training.”
Ghai feels that Kaanchi is one of the best women-oriented films ever written. “This is my best script so far. It has so much passion, energy and drama. It will provide wholesome entertainment for the masses and classes. I am very excited to start filming but I am waiting for that lucky girl.” The film, which is a love story, also stars veteran actors Rishi Kapoor and Mithun Chakraborty. The music will be scored by Ismail Darbar and Salim-Sulaiman.
