Let's see if Canadians that made Water, showing negative India, a really big hit,
will even let KAMAGATAMARU, damming Canada, to be screened there??

Whatever, the topic needs to be brought to international light
and who else can be better suited than Deepa Mehta, Amitabh, John Abraham and Seema Biswas.

[ Thursday, January 12, 2006 11:14:00 amIANS ]

MUMBAI: If all goes well, Amitabh Bachchan will appear in his first international
project to be directed by Deepa Mehta.

Deepa, revelling in the immense success of ‘Water’ in Canada - the film
continues to be a record-breaking grosser in its seventh week - is
waiting for Bachchan's green signal.

"The lead in my film 'Kamagata Maru' can be played by no other actor except
Bachchan," Mehta said.

"The hero of my most ambitious and expensive film has to be a man of substance,
stature and wisdom. I can't think of anyone else but Bachchan," says Mehta.

Meanwhile, Deepa has finalised the rest of the cast.
Seema Biswas, who has received the maximum raves in the international press for ‘Water’,
and John Abraham will play key roles in ‘Kamagata Maru’.

Deepa has also penned in Terence Stamp, the charismatic British actor from ‘Billy Budd’
and ‘Adventures Of Priscilla Queen Of The Deserts’, to play the crucial role of a lawyer.
