Vying to be Bond girl

LONDON: Though former Miss World Aishwarya Rai is the front-runner to be chosen as the first Indian Bond girl, three other beauties vying for the honour include former Miss World Priyanka Chopra, former Miss Universe Lara Dutta and young star Preity Zinta. Recognising the Bollywood boom all over the world, Bond producer Barbara Broccoli, a shrewd exploiter of vogues and trends, has reportedly decided to cast a Bollywood star in her next film that will ensure a massive cinema audience not just throughout Asia, but across all cultural divides, The Observer reported on Sunday. Casting agents for the Pinewood-based Bond film company, Eon Productions, have been travelling around India to meet and watch rival talents at work.
