BOMBAY (AFP) - Top Indian film star and former Miss World (news - web sites) Aishwarya Rai is in talks to appear in the next James Bond movie, her secretary told AFP.
A London-based agency, on behalf of the studio making Bond movies, has approached the actress to discuss a role in the next Bond movie, Rai's personal secretary Hari Singh, said Friday.
"It is still premature. But the agency guys are in town and have shown interest in discussing the role with Aishwarya," he said.
"I cannot name the agency as it is confidential. But they are keen to cast her. Let us see what Aishwarya says," he said.
If Rai, who won the Miss World title in 1994, got the role, she would be the first Indian to join the Bond girl clan, which includes Ursula Andress and recently Halle Berry.
Singh said the talks between the agency and Rai had been delayed because she had fractured her foot in an accident Wednesday.
