Anoushka Shankar is known for her eclectic choice in music and fashion.So, when it was recently reported that she will be making her Bollywood debut in a bilingual film with serial kisser Emraan Hashmi, a few eyebrows were raised.
However, the classical musician wants to clear the air from the US where she is performing a series of concerts. “I am not doing the film with Emraan,” she says. “It is true that I met Ahsaan Hyder about his film Breaking Free.
I found the film interesting but after reading the script and going through the initial process, I decided that it was not the right film for me to do.” Apparently, Hyder met Anoushka in Delhi during her last trip to India. She was here with her parents – father Pt Ravi Shankar and mother Sukanya Shankar.
The film, a bilingual, has Emraan playing the hero and Hyder chose Anoushka because of her musical background and accent. Hyder had confirmed that Anoushka had agreed to be a part of the film principally and he needed to travel to New York for her to sign the deal and complete necessary formalities, et al.
Anoushka, however, says that she is not looking at that film as her debut vehicle in Bollywood. She, meanwhile, doesn’t deny that she is thinking of working in Hindi films. She adds, “It is true that I decided not to do Breaking Free but I’m looking at several other scripts.” All of them from Bollywood? “Some of the scripts that I am reading are from Bollywood. However, I plan to carefully choose something that feels right for me. That is when I shall take the plunge,” she said.
And what is happening in her life currently? “I’m touring. I have a packed diary. In fact, I’m mid travel and tour right now. And there’s a lot of stuff to talk about my current tour. I have been busy since I got back from India in March 2008. I finished the USA leg of my tour in April and they were 11 wonderful shows. Then I was at home in California for two weeks. Since then I have also toured Turkey, Hungary, Germany, France, UK, Portugal, Japan and I have shows lined up in Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan and Singapore,” she says.
