Farah Khan to debut in a Bhansali film

Farah Khan, choreographer-director-TV host will be playing the leading lady of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next production Shirin Farhad, to be directed by SLB’s sister Bela. 


This comes as big news because one this is Farah’s big screen debut. Second, because until recently she and the Guzaarish director were bitter enemies and had even lashed out at each other in print.

When asked why Farah as the heroine, Sanjay told a news daily that it is the best way of taking revenge on her. Then getting serious, he added that he thought she suited the role perfectly. It’s a funny and very tender and quaint love story of a Parsi couple. And the character of Shirin suits Farah perfectly, who has amazing wit and wicked humour and he could see that translating on the screen.

The film has been written by Bhansali, who may be known for serious films, but he promises it will be a laugh riot. Boman Irani will be playing the lead opposite Farah and according to Bhansali's sister Bela, one should expect to see a lot of song and dance in her film.

Farah, who is all excited about debuting with this sweet role thought Sanjay and Bela were playing some kind of prank on her when they first approached her. But, once she realised they were serious she almost fainted and thinks this is the best way to annoy all those other heroines who are dying to work with Bhansali and the ofcourse this is Farah's way of getting back at Bhansali too!
