Director Anurag Basu, from the fame of "Murder (film)", decided to call her for an audition. Fortunately, they liked her work and decided to cast her as as the main female protagonist in the film.

Hindi film biggies like Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra have said no to Hollywood offers. BT finds out why

Until recently, India's only export to Hollywood was Aishwarya Rai. Today, Hollywood's calling even smaller names like Koena Mitra, Celina Jaitley and Randeep Hooda to give their films an Indian twist.

But the charm of the west has waned considerably in the last few years for most desi stars. And it's not just the biggies like Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan; even Celina Jaitley has said no to Hollywood.

Hrithik's filmmaker father Rakesh Roshan says the Hollywood role didn't excite Hrithik enough. "Hrithik was offered a role in Pink Panther 2. The role was meaty, but he didn't like the script very much.

More Meera

Meera is a movie actress from Pakistan. She is based in Lahore.

Through late 2004 and early 2005, she worked on her first Bollywood project Nazar, directed by Soni Razdan. This movie was the first joint production between India and Pakistan. It was released in February 2005. It immediately landed in trouble with the Pakistani Government, who objected strongly to a scene where she kisses the hero (played by Ashmit Patel of India), on religious and moral grounds. Allegedly, Meera has been fined an undisclosed amount for the kiss. Reportedly, the Pakistani Government is also considering a ban on Pakistani actors from working on Indian projects.

Later doubts were placed on Meera's claim that she had been fined when the Pakistani government denied placing any fines on Meera for the kiss. Mahesh Bhatt, the film's producer has been known for antics such as these to gain popularity for his movie projects. She had also claimed to have received death threats that were strongly disputed by her own colleagues.

Meera has done more bolder roles in local Pakistani movies and also some lewd videos of her and an unidentified man which have been leaked out are doing their rounds on the internet. Meera is known to be a dancer in Heera Mandi,like Reema Pakistan's infamous red light district based in Lahore.

Meera is also set to join the social work bandwagon in the footsteps of people like Imran Khan, Abrar ul Haq, Jawad Ahmad and Shehzad Roy. She is going to establish a social welfare organization that will provide shelter to homeless and needy women. The project will be named after her mother Shafqat Zehra. "A complex spread over an area of 16 acres of land will be constructed in Sheikhupura comprising a school, hospital and home for the needy and homeless women. My mother has donated land for the project. I myself will take care of the project. I know it is a tough job to complete such a big project but I am determined to do it," Meera said.

Mallika Sherawat is all set to replace Zeenat Aman

Mallika Sherawat is all set to replace Zeenat Aman in Feroz Khan’s Qurbani remake.

Feroz has apparently been searching for a heroine for a long time. Priyanka Chopra was reportedly considered for the role but was not finalized. Now, reports allege that Mallika has bagged the part.

In the film, Mallika will be paired with Fardeen Khan who plays the role enacted by his father in the original film.

Hunt is still on for another hero to play the role enacted by Vinod Khanna. Saif Ali Khan was initially finalized for the part, but the actor opted out of the project due to date problems.

However, this time Feroze Khan will not play the lead role of the suave thief Rajesh. Instead he will step into the shoes of the eccentric inspector Amjad Khan, played by late Amjad Khan.

No Anil, no Madhuri Dixit in ‘Tezaab 2’

Writer-director N. Chandra who was instrumental in Madhuri Dixit’s star-trek with ‘Tezaab’ has just completed the filming of ‘Breaking News’. As he is working on its finishing touches, he is also working on a sequel to his film ‘Tezaab’.

The serious movie-maker is peeved with media reports that he has been negotiating with Madhuri Dixit and Anil Kapoor for ‘Tezaab 2’. “Of course I would love to work with such competent actors like Madhuri and Anil. But I am not considering either of them because the audience will feel a déjà vu if they see the same faces in a sequel. My script requires the gen-next known actors,” insists Chandrashekhar Narvekar.
