DJ BOLLYWOOD MASALA

Starlet Bosky Sheth (pictured left) is all set to star in her debut international filmtitled “The Three Kings”. The film is said to be loosely based on the life of Parveen Babi and also has characters resembling filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, Bollywood stalwart Amitabh Bachchan and actor Kabir Bedi, who were important men in the late actress’s life.

The 19-year-old Bosky, who originally hails from Ahmedabad, said she was “simply thrilled”.

“Who wouldn’t want such a challenging role,” said Bosky who has been modelling for the last two years. She has done several print and television commercials and also featured in a couple of music videos. But this is her first big film project.

The script for “The Three Kings” has been penned by film journalist Flynn Remedios, who spent over three years researching the project. It will hit the floors end-November and is directed by Hollywood director Reynold Baines. The film is expected to be completed by end 2010 and will release in mid 2011.

While Mahesh Bhatt has welcomed the film, Amitabh Bachchan in an interview to news agency PTI said he wouldn’t be affected.

According to the PTI report, even as a new film threatens to rake up dirt about the alleged Parveen Babi-Amitabh Bachchan relationship, the superstar comes clear of the old accusations saying that such controversies have stopped affecting him.

“I don’t know where they are getting all this rubbish from because it’s all untrue. But what can you do, it is another artiste’s perception of who I am,” Bachchan told PTI in an interview.

Apart from wife Jaya, Bachchan made the maximum films with Babi, including cult classics like “Kaalia” and “Amar Akbar Anthony”.

Meanwhile, Mahesh Bhatt told DNA: “I’ve no imagined greatness to think that a film will misrepresent me. A creative person is free to interpret real-life incidents. I don’t feel I will drag them to court even if they name me in the film. A real life story needs to be treated with a pinch of salt.”
