Hollywood director Reynold Baines is going to bring up a film based on yesteryear actress Parveen Babi. Actress Shikha Puri - who had recently posed topless for a documentary film “The Dog” - will be seen playing Parveen Babi in the film “The Three Kings”. The film also features characters that bear some resemblance to Mahesh Bhatt, Kabir Bedi and Amitabh Bachchan.
Sources said that in the film, Shikha will pose nude for a bathroom scene. There are about 3-5 nude scenes in the film which will be made at a budget of Rs 10 crore. Shika Puri said that she has yet to officially sign the film. When queried about the nude scenes, she said, “As a professional actress, I have no problem doing nude scenes in front of the camera. The film depicts certain true aspects of Parveen Babi’s life, including her addiction to drugs like LSD in the later part of her life and her multiple love relationships.”
According to Executive Producer and script writer Flynn Remedios, Shikha has just signed the film and we are “yet to get the final script.” The film is in Hinglish and is primarily targeted at an international audience, but will also be screened in India, he said.
Flynn Remedios added that as the script writer, he has been researching the project for the last three years. “I have unearthed certain untold secrets of Parveen Babi’s latter life, including footage of scenes she shot which were never shown on screen. Then there were certain aspects of her love life that haven’t been told yet.” We are trying to get Mahesh Bhatt to be part of this project, he added.
