19-year-old Brazilian model Giselli Monteiro, who made her debut as a Punjabi kudi in Love Aaj Kal has bagged her second film, under the BR Chopra banner.
The film titled Puraani Jeans will also see the debut of Ravi Chopra's son Kapil Chopra along with yesteryear actress Rati Agnihotri's son Tanuj Virwani who will be playing the parallel lead. The film will be directed by first-timer Tanushree.
Fresh face wanted
A source from the unit reveals, "It is a Gen-Next love story. They required a fresh face since they are launching two male newcomers. Giselli played a small role in Imtiaz Ali's Love Aaj Kal but was noticed by the audience. She suits the role in the movie and will be seen in a glam as well as de-glam avtaar."
Although the Brazilian model can't speak Hindi, her lines will be dubbed for her.
Talks are on
Chopra admits, "Yes I am launching my son Kapil and Rati's son Tanuj with Puraani Jeans. As far as the lead actress is concerned, nothing has been finalised." About Giselli, he says, "We are in talks but nothing has been signed on papers." A source close to Giselli too confirms, "She has been approached for the film and talks are on."
