Lajjo back on?
Looks like Mani Ratnams Lajjo is back in the running after having been shelved
for some time now. But this time around the film will not be starring the
original choice Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor.
Mani spoke to Ash about the story. She showed keen interest in the film and
now with time on her hand she has decided to take on the film. A south cinema
actor, Vikram, will make his debut in Bollywood with Lajjo, says a source.
After Guru, Ash and Mani have developed a great comfort level with one
another. Mani was very disappointed with the way Lajjo never got off the
ground. So he discussed the film idea with Ash recently. And when she gave him
a positive response he decided to re-work the script a little and he is now in
talks for the male lead, he adds.
Initially Lajjo was to star Aamir Khan but creative differences between the
two stalwarts is said to have made Ratnam shelve the project. The film will be
an adaptation of Ismat Chugtais book of the same name.
The first draft of the film showed the male lead called Mirza as a wild and
corrupt bachelor leading a reckless life. He owns a shop and frequents brothels
and is coerced into hiring Lajjo, a prostitute, as his maid who then over time
finds a place in his good books. Mirza marries her but his fierce
possessiveness sours their lives. Her once brazen sensuality is now perceived
as obscene. Soon Mirza returns to brothel women and Lajjo finds comfort in her
neighbours arms. The duo is caught red-handed by Mirza who beats her up and
then divorces her.
