After going through a whole roster of could-be leading ladies�from Konkona Sen to Urvashi Sharma (who was almost finalised)�Arshad Warsi has finally found a leading lady for his first home production tentatively titled I Believe In Angels� just weeks before the film is scheduled to go on the floors in London in July.
"All the girls who were Arshad's pals turned him down,� says a source. �Arshad is in a peculiar place right now�he's seen as a natural scene-stealer but not leading-man material. The big heroines are wary of being paired with him. Lara Dutta said no to Shortkut, though it was an Anil Kapoor Production, when she head Arshad was one of the leading men."
However, Dia was happy to say yes. "I've always enjoyed Arshad's performances and it's an honour to be in a film produced by him,� she says. �Then when I heard the script, I simply fell in love with my role and the script. Every character is so beautifully written. I'm sure Arshad's first production is going to turn out to be very special."
Dia plays an angelic character in the film. "I've that image and I suit it,� she says. �Though I'm not bound by the sweet image, I don't mind being perceived as ideal for angelic roles at a time when every second girl enjoys playing the wicked one."
