Destiny’s Child – Zarine Khan

My lead co-star in Veer is newcomer Zarine Khan. Much has been said about her looks etc. Two weeks before the shoot we didn’t have a heroine. We needed a new face that had that royal elegant, period face, the charm and looks of a princess. She had all those qualities. Just like luck plays an important role in your life, it played a huge role in Zarine’s life too as she was cast in a process of three hours. She underwent a photo session and between developing the pictures to showing them to Anil Sharma & producer Vijay Galani, she was cast as she suited the character bang on…so I call her Destiny’s Child.

And the other thing about her weight…Zarine was required to play a princess in the late 1800s where size zero (dubli patli) didn’t exist! Women back then had a healthy look about them and it was Anil Sharma’s brief to her to look like a woman of that era and to not starve herself (wanted a hari bhari woman!)

The other actress in the film is Lisa Lazarus. Liza, an ex-Miss UK had met Vijay Galani’s London coordinator and was very keen on doing a Bollywood film and auditioned for veer. She later sent her photographs which were shown to me and Anil Sharma and finally she was signed in. Liza then underwent acting and diction classes and has done a great job.

The other key British cast includes Tim Lawrence who is playing the main villain in Veer. He has worked earlier with Sohail in I - Proud to Be Indian, wherein he was playing the main villain too.

Love,
