Girl who'll get sexy with Hrithik

Girl who'll get sexy with Hrithik



The thrills behind the thriller that Anurag Basu is making for Rakesh Roshan with Hrithik in the lead, are getting more thrilling than the film itself.

The hunt for the leading lady for Hrithik is getting more itense. Several names have been put forward. Apparently Rakesh Roshan who's very close to Anil Kapoor and very fond of Sonam wanted to cast her. But Sonam, frightfully conscious of her conservative image begged off.

The role requires the girl to get seriously sexy with Hrithik.


Says Hrithik, "I'd love to work with Sonam. But not on this project. The role doesn't do justice to her. We're looking at someone from abroad, someone Latin American or Brazilian. So yeah, in that sense this would be my first international project."

Director Anurag Basu says Sonam doesn't suit the role. "We've looked at many names, known and and new in Bollywood. But that 'it' factor eludes us. I'm getting quite jittery.

The girl's role is extremely bold. Actually we've decided to cast someone international, preferably Brazilian, because that's the personality and profile of the leading lady in my film."

According to reliable reports, the girl chosen for the part is the Channel V model Bruna Abdullah. Child of an Arabian mother and Brazilian father Bruna has been stationed in Mumbai waiting for Bollywood to happen. She performed an extremely bold item song for Anubhav Sinha's Cash recently.
Says a close friend of the Arabian-Brazilian veejay-dancer, "Bruna is extremely uninhibited before the camera.

That's why she was brought into Channel V who needed a girl to rival the international looks, personality and body language of MTV's veejay Mia. Bruna has her eyes set on Bollywood. Anubhav's item song was her stepping stone. Anurag's film with Hrithik is her next big move."

However the director denies Bruna has been penciled in for the Hrithik project. "I don't deny meeting her, like we've met so many other girls for the part. But Bruna hasn't been finalized.But it'll surely be an international face."

Adds Rakesh Roshan, "It'll be a Spanish –speaking girl.We want to show love has no barriers."
