Star hunt for Walia’s new film cantering on Brit South Asian characters
Monday, 19 April, 2010 12:00:00 AM
London (Special Report) – British Director Yugesh Walia intends to cast Indian film stars in his next film about South Asian communities living in the UK.
Walia said,’ there are not enough British Asian actors. This will be more of an exploratory casting trip with an intention to see if we can cast for three characters - Kamal the male lead, Nazia the female lead and Amir, the antagonist’.
‘We are looking for anybody who can convincingly play these roles. These can include actors who may have a few films to their credit and show a lot of potential. Actors from theatre perhaps, but we are interested in fresh faces also. We would love to be pleasantly surprised. It would be exciting to find the next star’, he added.
The film still to be named is cantered on a character that restores the honours of families by returning their runaway women. He falls in love with one of the women only to know that she belongs to a gangster.
The name of the film was suggested as The Bounty Hunter but producers had to change it because an American film of the same name, starring Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler, has just been released.
