Roshni Chopra is all set to make her big screen debut in a lead role opposite Rajneesh Duggal in Vikram Bhatt���s Phir. The film is produced by Vikram Bhatt and Surendra Sharma, and directed by Girish Dhamija. The thriller is set in London and will go on the floors in a couple of months.
When contacted, Vikram Bhatt said, ���I first met Roshni when she had come to interview me.
I���ve also seen her in her TV show Kasamh Se and I quite liked her screen presence. Later, I thought of her when we were looking for a lead in the film. I suggested her name to my director Girish after he had finalised the script. He met her and things fell into place.���
Director Girish Dhamija said he liked Vikram���s suggestion. He said, ���Roshni fits the bill perfectly. Our film is a thriller and is based in London and Roshni plays a chartered accountant, married to Rajneesh, who plays a doctor. We wanted someone who would look Indian, but could carry off the role of an NRI based in London. We did a photo session with her too. These days it doesn���t matter whether one is a television actor or a stage actor, anyone who fits the bill has to be in the film.���
Roshni is in New York and was unavailable for comment.
