[?] CANNES, France (AFP) – Aishwarya Rai, a former Miss World turned Bollywood movie star in India, said she was looking into rumours that she is being considered for a part in the next James Bond movie.
“Will it be? I have no clue,” Rai told AFP in Cannes, where she is sitting on this year’s jury at the international film festival under way.
“What I did learn from the media is that it (the next Bond film) is still at the scripting stage, and it was an idea that they were looking for an Asian face,” she said.
The press in her native India has been speculating that she may be the next Bond girl, even though official word from Eon Productions, the maker of the 007 films, is that the next superspy outing is still being planned and that it is too early to cast the female lead. [8D]
