Hollywood director Reynold Baines is going to bring up a film based on yesteryear actress Parveen Babi. Actress Shikha Puri - who had recently posed topless for a documentary film “The Dog” - will be seen playing Parveen Babi in the film “The Three Kings”. The film also features characters that bear some resemblance to Mahesh Bhatt, Kabir Bedi and Amitabh Bachchan.
Sources said that in the film, Shikha will pose nude for a bathroom scene. There are about 3-5 nude scenes in the film which will be made at a budget of Rs 10 crore. Shika Puri said that she has yet to officially sign the film. When queried about the nude scenes, she said, “As a professional actress, I have no problem doing nude scenes in front of the camera. The film depicts certain true aspects of Parveen Babi’s life, including her addiction to drugs like LSD in the later part of her life and her multiple love relationships.”
According to Executive Producer and script writer Flynn Remedios, Shikha has just signed the film and we are “yet to get the final script.” The film is in Hinglish and is primarily targeted at an international audience, but will also be screened in India, he said.
Flynn Remedios added that as the script writer, he has been researching the project for the last three years. “I have unearthed certain untold secrets of Parveen Babi’s latter life, including footage of scenes she shot which were never shown on screen. Then there were certain aspects of her love life that haven’t been told yet.” We are trying to get Mahesh Bhatt to be part of this project, he added.
However, Mahesh Bhatt says he is not disturbed by film on Parveen Babi. Mahesh Bhatt, in an interview to DNA, said that he would not be surprised or offended if the producers of the film used a bit of poetic license to portray him in the project.
According to the article, Bhatt told DNA that Reynolds hasn't approached him to double check facts about his affair with Parveen. However, he (Mahesh Bhatt) added that he does not have any problem if anyone unearths skeletons from his past. "I have no greatness that I will lose if they misrepresent me on screen. Every film needs an inspiration. I am fine if this movie is inspired by my relationship with Parveen. I can't speak for the others though. I don't think the makers are committing any crime if they aren't approaching the others on whose characters the other roles are loosely based on. Because I am sure the makers will not blatantly name anyone. Even if they do so, I don't have a problem. I won't wake up one morning to drag them to court," Bhatt said.
Shikha Puri 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. She recently shot for a music video with DJ Shezwood.
