KARACHI: Famous Indian Director Ketan Mehta, who is known for his biopics and documentary films, admits that he is in talks with actress Katrina Kaif to play the role of legendary World War II spy Noor Inayat Khan in his ambitious project Noor.
"It's too early to comment. I am in the initial stages of negotiation. I will make a formal announcement soon," Mehta said when he was asked if the 28-year-olld actress was onboard for the biopic.
In addition, the director also plans to make another biopic titled Mountain Man. The story of Mountain Man is about a Bihar-based laborer named Dashrath Manjhi, who dedicates twenty years of his life carving a road by cutting a mountain because the lack of a road had prevented him from taking his wife to hospital, due to which she lost her life.
"Mountain Man is a great biopic. I am yet to cast someone for the lead role. I am keeping all my options open (to cast a newcomer or an established actor). I am planning to finalize things in the next 10 days," he said.
Moreover, Mehta's Randeep Hooda and Nandana Sen starrer Rang Rasiya has been ready for the last three years, but is yet to hit the screens. The director plans to get started on the proposed two biopics only once the Rang Rasiya releases.
