Amy Jackson all set to make for Bollywood

Amy Louise Jackson is a British model and now Indian film actress as well. Before starting her acting career, Amy Jackson won the Miss Teen World competition in 2008 and went on to win Miss Liverpool in 2010.

Amy Jackson was spotted on the Miss England website by director AL Vijay, and a month later, Amy Jackson was shooting in Hyderabad and Chennai for her first Tamil film, "Madrasapattinam"! In an interview at that time, Amy Jackson had said, "I couldn't believe it. I'd never acted in my life, I didn't even know I could act."

Amy Jackson very first Tamil film, a period drama in which she played the female lead opposite Arya, earned her kudos from the audience and the industry wallas alike, and Amy left the cold of London behind to settle down in the humid climes of Chennai. Amy soon 'Indianised' herself by saying things like, "I've always wanted to travel to India. Acting is one of my passions and this film appeared to be the perfect opportunity. When I went for the casting, I wasn't sure if I'd do the movie. But once I heard the storyline and met the director, I was sure I wanted to be part of it."


Now, Amy Louise Jackson's all set to make her Bollywood debut, what with having been signed by Gautham Menon to play a Malayali Christian in "Ek Deewana Tha". Will the audience fall for Amy's firang charms? If rumors are to be believed, her Bollywood co-actor Prateik is already deewana about her, rumors that Amy's brushed off with a predictable 'he's just a friend'. But we'll have to wait for the verdict on this one.

Not even the producer or director had anything to do with it. After she realised how much she had toned up (to play a male cricketer in Dil Bole Hadippa!), Rani just happened to discuss this idea with her designer friend Manish Malhotra. And from there on it was Manish’s game plan, after all, he’s transformed many a Bollywood girl in to glam queens.

Talk about her ‘shapely’ success, and Rani says, “Believe me, I didn’t starve at all. I love my food, especially rice and sweets. There was no way I was giving up all that.

'I have no heartfelt desire to work with SRK’: Ranbir Kapoor

Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor maintains he never said he was desperate to share screen space with Shah Rukh Khan, but admitted he would love to work with the superstar if a good project came his way. “I had no such dil ki tamanna (heartfelt desire) to work with Shah Rukh sir. But I respect him a lot. I am a big fan of him,” Ranbir told reporters on the margins of the HT Leadership Summit here Friday. The 28-year-old, who was here with his father, evergreen star Rishi Kapoor, says a superstar’s presence in a project isn’t reason enough for him to accept it. “It’s not that if a superstar will be there in a film, I’ll agree to do it. But if I like a film, I like its script, I would be more than glad to do it,” he added. Nevertheless, Ranbir enjoys the attention he gets from the youth.
