British filmmakers to scout for actors in India

NEW DELHI, April 12: After Slumdog Millionaire the makers of another British film are headed to India to look for new South Asian faces for their venture and possibly “find the next star”.

Yugesh Walia, the producer of the yet-to-be-titled film, told IANS the reason for exploring casting possibilities in India is “because of the lack of enough choice in Indian and Pakistani actors in Britain.” He said it would be “more of an exploratory casting trip with an intention to see if we can cast for three characters - Kamal the male lead, Nazia the female lead and Amir, the antagonist.”
