Lara’s drift

Lara Dutta’s running on a real fast lane these days. Looks like Kelly Dorji really had some chains on her for the nine years that they were together. She has been trying her hand at all the things she thinks she’s been missing out on. First up there is Sudhir Mishra’s modernized adaptation of Devdas, where she plays a modern Paro. This role she says will completely change her image… I think it’s becoming a norm for all the glitzy actresses to try their hands at working with off-beat directors to get an i-can-act-tag. Then there is Billoo Barber, where in her own words, Priyadarshan has made her go through more firsts than she has had in her entire life.

Now the new one to the list is Blue. Blue is a complete action flick, with Akshay Kumar and Zayed Khan. With the real death-defying, breathtaking action sequences we witnessed in Singh is Kinng, I m sure this one will show them smooching on the moon. Lara says she’s overcome Hydrophobia (fear of wearing bathing suits is it?). She’s scuba diving with sharks and balancing on the noses of two dolphins. For real? Remains to be seen - for all we know she could be caressing Flounders underwater while some geeks sitting on computers are getting their eyeballs red trying to replace them with sharks and dolphins!

Another one to conquer all the phobias for Blue is Zayed Khan who has already gotten himself stitches on his forehead by misjudging a move and falling on the windscreen of a car! You can now officially collect your red and white bravery award Zayed!! Sanjay Dutt, who has had a life full of mishaps was quick to scream at Zayed for such childish moves. With so much drama unfolding behind the scenes, the director should really contemplate a documentary on the making of this movie itself!
