Suri says that he wants to tell it through 'Awaarapan' that contrary to the belief that Mahesh Bhatt said goodbye to Parveen Babi when she started to lose her sanity, it was Babi who asked Bhatt to go away from her life. "Babi knew she was heading towards destruction," says the 'Zeher' and 'Kalyug' director.
The Bhatts had almost finalized their blue-eyed boy Emraan Hashmi for Mahesh Bhatt's role, but the reasonably good run of 'Kalyug' just might tilt the scales in Kunal Khemu's favour.
"Emraan will be fine, but lately, he has signed quite a few movies. I want someone who will be coming on board without any baggage of dates. Khemu has rocked in 'Kalyug'. Both the critics and the masses have appreciated him, which is no mere achievement. Let's see. If Emraan is not free, I may ask Khemu to do the job," says Suri.
'Gangster', being directed by Anurag Basu, is a triangle between a don-on-the-run (Shiny Ahuja), his girlfriend (Kangna) and another man (Emraan Hashmi). The film is largely based on Abu Salem and Monica Bedi's relationship.
After completing Monica Bedi's role 'Gangster' in January, Kangna will slip into the garb of Parveen Babi in 'Awaarapan' scheduled to start in February. The film will be shot in Mumbai, Goa, London and Dubai.
"I may show Kangna a bit of Parveen Babi from her old film cassettes, but not much. I don't want Kangna's originality and therefore vulnerability, which is vital to Babi's character, to be lost," the director winds up.
Kangna Ranaut began her education in Shimla, followed by Chandigarh. She did a bit of theatre in Delhi. After that, she came to Mumbai and started living with her aunt, in Juhu. 'Gangster' will be her debut film. |
