Bipasha or Priyanka in a Pakistani film?

Bipasha to star in Pakistani film

By Shoaib Ahmed

LAHORE: Actor turned director Javed Sheikh, a steadfast supporter of co-productions between India and Pakistan, told Daily Times on Wednesday that he would be signing Indian actress Bipasha Basu in the second week of December for his upcoming film Khulay Asman Kay Nichay (KAKN).

Mr Sheikh said that he had finalised the cast of KAKN, adding that besides Bipasha Basu the cast would include Sana, Saleem Sheikh and Humayun Saeed. He said that an Indian actor (to be finalised in December) would be the lead role of the film. Mr Sheikh said that he and one of his Australia-based friends, Akbar Khan, would jointly produce KAKN.

Mr Sheikh said that because of certain reasons he had to drop Indian film diva Kareena Kapoor, his earlier choice for the film. He said that the film would be shot in Karachi and Australia, adding that Yougesh Parathan at the Empire Studio in Mumabi had composed the film’s music. He said that an Indian choreographer would organise the film’s dance sequences.

The budget of the film would be around Rs 8 million, said Mr Sheikh and added that if Ms Basu could not fit the film in her schedule then his second choice would be Priyanka Chopra.

Mr Sheikh said that Babar Kashmiri had written the script of KAKN and Amjad Bobby had composed the music. He said Alka Yagnink, Sonu Nigam, Kumar Sanu, Sadhna Sargam, Udit Naryan, and Sukhwinder had also recorded songs for the film.

Mr Sheikh said that since there were no facilities to compose music of an international standard in Pakistan, one had to go to across the border for quality music. He said that the film’s story revolved around childhood engagements and was based on a true story.

Mr Sheikh said he was going to India in December to complete the shooting of his third Indian film, which was still untitled. He said that Johan Mathew who had earlier directed Sarfrosh starring Aamir Khan and Sonali Bendre was directing the film. He said that he had already completed two Indian films Das and Sitam.

He said that the film would be cinematographed in Pune and Mumbai, adding that he had a character role in the film. He said that the film’s music had cost over Rs 5 million.

Mr Sheikh said that next year he would invite several Indian film stars to Pakistan, including Manisha Koirala, Sunil Shethi, Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgand, Amrita Rao and Shahid Kapoor. He said that all these stars would celebrate Basant with him in Lahore.

AGREE WITH CHARIZMATIC 100%

javaid sheikh is an assclown. i can respect the fact that he's getting help from india to make the movie and its music, becuse they know how to make movies alot better than us right now. i can even understand if he gets this indian actress to play a part in the film

but what the is he doing by getting an indian actor to play the LEAD, while humayon saeed is in the movie????? whats the point?? pakistan has 2 legit SUPERSTAR actors: shaan and humayon. why would you get someone to play the lead from india, when u have one of pakistan's ace acotors? unless he bags one of the KING KHAN's from bollywood...he's insulting humayon. and on top of this.....no amna haq. javaid sheikh. he's a retard.
