In possibly the biggest role that a Hollywood superstar has ever essayed in an Indian film so far, Basic Instinct star Sharon Stone is being cast opposite Amitabh Bachchan in a new movie titled Lost Love.
It will be jointly directed by Kolkata-based Tapan Saha, who assisted master filmmaker Ritwik Ghatak and Ron Calvy, who assisted Francis Ford Coppola on The Godfather.
Saha is also in talks with Abhishek Bachchan for the younger version of Amitabh and Amanda Seyfried of Mamma Mia! for the younger version of Sharon Stone.
“Sharon has read the script and has given her consent,” says Saha. “I will go to Hollywood soon, to make her sign the contract.”
The actress, he adds, “will be in India either this year-end or beginning of next year for the shoot”. As for Bachchan, “we have almost finalized the deal with him”. The shooting would be at a hill station. “Kodaikanal, Panchgani and Mahabaleshwar are options.”
The film is about an American girl, who is dumped by her Indian boyfriend but still waits for him for 25 years. To find him, she comes to India. Saha is in talks with Lions Gate chairman Harald Ludwig to produce the movie.
He is riding high on Slumdog Millionaire’s success. “There is a big wave of India in Hollywood, so I thought to give my own script a shot too,” says Saha, who is also directing Chimera with Billy Zane and Bipasha Basu.
