EXCERPT:-
The role of Kiran was earlier offered to actress Perizaad Zorabian who turned it down. Ultimately, Chriselle Almeida has played Kiran in the film. A Goan, Chriselle was born in Mumbai and moved to New York at the age of 14. She has done an acting course from the University of California. Chriselle was previously seen in Jonah Freeman's 2004 movie "The Franklin Abraham". Chriselle is not at all fazed by the possibility of her role eliciting shock and anger from the Indian audience. "Safe is no fun! Playing a character that is slightly daring, unsafe and not a stereotype is fun," Chriselle told IANS in the context of films on lesbianism raking up controversy in the country. She added: "I was so excited by the script where an Indian actress was not portrayed in the usual conventional way. The controversial subject drew me to the character." The film is expected to hit theatres in India later this year. ENDS.
