Six heroes, four heroines, one sex kitten and a foreign beauty – all of them would come together for a Bollywood romantic movie.
All set to realize this casting coup is none other than the Kal Ho Na Ho director Nikhil Advani. Nikhil, along with writers Saurabh Shukla and Suresh Nair, has completed the script of his next movie Salaam-e-Ishq and has finalized most of the movie’s star cast as well.
And, as learnt, the real surprise of the movie is going to be Govinda pairing with a foreign actress, most likely from the US or the UK.
But won’t such a big ensemble pose date problems for Advani?
Not really, says Advani, because the six pairs are seldom shown together in the movie. The three-hour film would focus on one pair at a time.
Advani introduced his movie to the actors in a novel way. He first made a short showreel of these actors from various films and showed them before narrating the script. Then, the script was narrated and the actors had a fairly good idea of their characters in the film. All of them agreed to be part of the project.
Advani also held a photo session with the movie’s cast on Sunday.
