Shah Rukh Khan had openly declared that he wanted Hollywood superstar Jackie Chan to be a part of his forthcoming superhero film Ra One starring SRK himself and Kareena Kapoor. SRK also confirmed that the deal seemed a little difficult as Chan was really expensive. After negotiating for a long time, Shah Rukh has finally confirmed the absence of Jackie Chan in Ra One. He recently wrote on Twitter, “No Jackie Chan in Ra. One. That’s final now.” We would have liked to see the two together though!
Victoria Koblenko might not be a familiar name for the Bollywood audience, but if Victoria’s plans come through, we might soon see her scorch the Hindi cinema screens with her gorgeous presence. The Dutch actress has worked in the much acclaimed movie ‘ When Night Falls ’ and has also been a part of Netherlands’ most popular TV drama series ‘ Good Times, Bad Times ’. She is also a regular guest at the popular Dutch talk shows like ‘ The Weakest Link ’ and ‘ Celebrity Mole ’. We ran into Victoria, who is in India to attend the 11th FICCI Frames 2010 being held in Mumbai. The 3-day conference is all about films and entertainment and though a Netherlander, Victoria’s life is not untouched by the Bollywood magic. Speaking to us fondly about Indian cinema, Victoria says, “I like watching Bollywood films. I watch them with sub-titles. As a kid I have seen my parents watch Indian films.” The beautiful lady confesses to us that she isn’t good with remembering names but knows faces, but still if there’s one man in the industry who has left a deep impression on her mind – it is Shah Rukh Khan!
At the first day of FICCI Frames, Victoria got the opportunity to share the dais with her favourite Shah Rukh. Talking about the endearing actor, Victoria says, “I have seen a lot of his movies. I can’t remember the names but he is also a favourite amongst my friends from Russia and Holland,” she says further narrating an incidence, “I was recently working on a Russian drama series and between shots, I would see my fellow co-stars watch Bollywood films on their portable devices. People there just love Bollywood.” And so does Victoria. No wonder then she does have plans to try her luck in B-town. “I would definitely love to work in Bollywood. But I don’t know Hindi and I don’t have Indian looks but if I get a role of a foreigner, I would be delighted,” says the Dutch damsel with a twinkle in her eyes. And just as we asked her whom would she like to get paired opposite, pat came her reply, “Shah Rukh Khan, of course!” On her week long stay in Mumbai, Victoria Koblenko will be meeting Yash Chopra and also a production house to discuss opportunities. We wish her all the best for her Bollywood dreams.
