Rakhi Sawant attempts image makeover
IANS [ Wed, Jul 4, 2007 ]
- Mumbai, July 4 (IANS) Rakhi Sawant seems to have opted for an image change. In Rahul Rawail's ensemble comedy "Buddha Mar Gaya", she has been cast in a role that requires no oomph, only chutzpah.
"I was hunting for a girl to play this zany, liberated, frank and fearless girl called Kim in my comedy. No one seemed to fit the bill... until I saw Rakhi on reality show 'Bigg Boss'. I loved her spirit and honesty in the show. I immediately decided to cast her," Rawail told IANS.
Rakhi, who will join the ensemble cast comprising Om Puri, Paresh Rawal, Anupam Kher (who plays a corpse) and Mobhano Modi-Kotwal, had no inhibitions about doing the film.
"Rakhi has no item songs and no striptease element in 'Buddha Mar Gaya'. I'm glad I found her to play the role. I can't think of anyone better," said Rawail.
