Former Miss India and Bollywood actress Celina Jaitley couldn't have asked for more. First she landed a role in Hollywood film “The Quest of Sheherzade” and now she will team up with Oscar winner Sean Connery in the international project based on 'Arabian Nights'.“ The Quest of Sheherzade” is scheduled to go on floors in January and also stars Orlando Bloom of 'Pirates Of The Caribbean' fame. It will be directed by Ken Khan, the technical director of fantasy adventure film 'Lord of the Rings'.
'Sean Connery is there in the film and recently Orlando Bloom was also signed. I am playing an important character of an Iranian princess,' Celina told. 'The story is based on Arabian Nights and they are planning to start the shooting from January next year. I am in a contract and can't talk much about the movie,' she said.
“The Quest of Sheherzade” is not her first international project. Celina plays the lead in New Zealand-Australian venture 'Love Has No Language' by the same director. In 'Love Has No Language', the former Miss India is cast as an Indian girl born and brought up in New Zealand. She is cast opposite Australian actor Ben Mitchell.
'It was very difficult to speak in Kiwi English as they speak in a completely difficult and weird accent. Neither do they speak like Australians nor like the British,' Celina said. 'It took me 10 days to sit constantly with my trainer to learn the correct accent. She sat with me day and night and spoke to me in her accent which made it possible for me to get it right,' Celina added.
Celina said though she is working in Hollywood films, her first love will always be the Hindi film industry. The other projects Celina has signed on include Paying Guest, 'Hello Darling, Chaai Garam, Showman and Run Bhola Run.
