AMRITA RAO ON A HIGH


After the success of ‘Vivah’, Amrita Rao has many ambitious projects on hand. Amrita’s next release is E Niwas’ “My Name Is Anthony Gonzalves”. She will also start her shooting for UTV’s ‘Hook or Crook’ to be directed by David Dhawan. She also has Anil Kapoor’s ‘Short Cut’ on hand which has Akshaye Khanna and Arshad Warsi as her co-stars. She also participated in the item song in Farah’s brother Sajid’s ‘Hey Babby’.
However, Amrita’s real excitement is about Shyam Benegal’s project where she will play a village girl with Shreyas Talpade as her co-star. She is very excited about the workshop for the film which is going to start soon.
“When I got a call from Shyam Benegal’s office saying he wanted to meet him I was over the moon. He has always been on my wish list. And when that call came I pinched myself. I didn’t ask any questions. I immediately said yes,” says the elated Amrita.
