Malayalam director, T. Rajeevnath, who was searching for a suitable actress to
play Mother Teresa in his film on the Nobel Peace laureate, has decided to ask American
actress Paris Hilton to play the Saint.
According to sources, the director was impressed when he read a report that the hotel
heiress had refused to pose nude in Playboy magazine and decided then to shortlist
her. The movie will be mostly shot in West Bengal and several foreign countries.
'I am leaving for the US early next month to finalise the producer. A few production houses
have evinced interest in producing this film. The budget is expected to be in the range of
Rs.500 million ($11.3 million) to Rs.600 million,' Rajeevnath said.
The cast includes Mithun Chakravarthy, Kamal Haasan, Mohanlal and several others. Among the
specialties of the film would be the character of former West Bengal chief minister Jyoti
Basu, who was quite close to Mother Teresa.
