FORMER Bahrain resident and Miss Sri Lanka 2006, Jackie Fernandez, is set to make her acting debut in a Bollywood film next year.
The former Sacred Heart School student will play the role of Princess Jasmine in a Hindi blockbuster based on the animated Disney classic Aladdin.
She will star alongside Bollywood icons Amitabh Bachchan and Sanjay Dutt.
Mr Bachchan will play the genie, while Mr Dutt stars as the villain Jaffer and upcoming actor Riteish Deshmukh will play Aladdin.
"I'm really excited about working on it because it will be the first of its kind in Bollywood," she told the GDN yesterday.
"The special effects will be done by the same people who worked on some of the Harry Potter, Matrix and Spiderman movies." |
The movie is now set to come out in October 2008.
