Saif Ali Khan to essay the role of Jawaharlal Nehru

Posted: 28 Jun 2012 09:55 AM PDT


Saif Ali Khan is riding high on his professional front. His forthcoming 'Cocktail' is yet to hit the screens but has already impressed the critics with its trailers. And now, Saif is all set to play the role of Jawaharlal Nehru in Britain-based Indian filmmaker, Gurinder Chadha's partition film. Actor Naseeruddin Shah has been approached to play the role of Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Shah has already given a nod for the role.
"It is a huge canvas requiring tonnes and tonnes of research and scores of characters. I've spoken to some people including Naseer and Saif. Nehru's role is a cameo, so I wonder if Saif would be willing to do it," Gurinder said on phone from London.
The film will be shot in Delhi and Jodhpur. "I've already acquired the necessary permission to shoot everywhere in India including Rashtrapati Bhavan. So I am all set. I don't have to shoot in Pakistan at all. This would be my ultimate dream project and I can't wait for it to take off," said Gurinder adding, "This is my biggest challenge to date. I've been working on my partition film for some time now. The central character is Lord Mountbatten. The movie is set in January 1947 when Mountbatten was asked to oversee India and the movie ends in August 1947, so it's a brief time span".
The film will go on floor this October.

Pantaloons Femina Miis India World 2012 Vanya Mishra from Chandigarh is awaiting her big test with the Miss World contest which will take place on August 18 contest in China.

At this time I'm just focussed on my Miss World title and I hope I win millions of heart with the win."
"I am all set for D-day. The preparation is going in full swing. You are groomed from head to toe to compete with other representatives from different countries. I'm definitely going to put my best foot forward," she said.
Vanya says that the grooming sessions were really tough for her as she had to manage with her engineering studies as well. "Well, definitely it's difficult for a girl of my age to get into the mode of 13 days of strenuous grooming session. I am an engineering student, I can easily bunk my classes, but I was not allowed to bunk grooming sessions. It was difficult, but I am satisfied with the outcome. It helped in exploring hidden beauty," she said.
As for her plans to enter Bollywood, Vanya says that she has other things to focus on at present. "I love glamour, but I haven't given thought to entering Bollywood as of now. I was just the student and then I became Miss India, so it's too early for me to plan future. I just expect and hope to win the international crown. My main focus is international pageant," she said.
