Most often than not, they don't get picked up.
This time around too, there was no exception. There was a heavy indirect campaign to bring in Shilpa Shetty as the heroine. The actress sure has the looks and the body to star in such a role, but we wouldn't know if her image (as crusader for women's rights and racial harmony) would work well for the role.
Finally, the list of Bond Girls is out and none of the Indian stars has made it to the list. Daniel Craig, the latest Bond will play the title role this time too.
'Bond 22' is the name of the film and it will hit the theatres on the 8th of November this year.
The Ukrainian model-turned-actress Olga Kurylenko and Jemma Artherton are the Bond Girls this time.
Happy viewing...
