Reports are that Shekhar Kapoor is going to direct Hollywood beauty Kate Winslet in a movie on the life of an Indian actress.
That Indian actress is Nadia who was exceptionally bright in daredevil roles and was famous as 'Hunterwali' in the 1930s. She came to India from Australia.
The highlight of Kapoor’s movie titled 'Fearless Nadia' is that the Oscar awardee Winslet will be seen acting as 'Hunterwali'.
It is learnt that the movie will cost a whooping sum, and an Australian company has agreed to share it.
The role that transformed Winslet from art house attraction to international star was Rose DeWitt Bukater, the passionate, rosy-cheeked aristocrat in James Cameron's ‘Titanic’ (1997).
Young girls the world over both idolized and identified with Winslet, swooning over all that face time opposite heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio and noting her refreshingly healthy, un-emaciated physique.
Winslet's performance also garnered a Best Actress nomination, making her the youngest actress to ever receive two Academy nods.
