I get your point but my preference for Aish in ethereal roles in the filmy medium is unshakeable. In hindi movies atleast her image has developed as a kanch-ki-gudiya (glass-doll) and hence my bias towards those types of roles. I think if a big canvas is pulled out for a Rani Padmavati movie, she would be a perfect candidate from current desi heroines. She will fit right in.[right][snapback]65460[/snapback][/right]<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Rajesh_G, I didn't intend to be so forceful and narrow-minded that you'd rather make a quiet getaway to avoid my overly argumentative self. Just meant to put my rather opinionated views forward. Feel free to mow them over.

But don't the directors think it will limit her no end? Wouldn't Aish think so too? She might not have been a great actress in most of her films ('Jeans' comes to mind), but she was really good in Kandukondain - no detraction at all, quite the opposite. She fit seamlessly. It's when I started to think she could act after all.

But yeah, she should play a Rani! And she's a Bunt, so kshatriya woman in real life. And she moves like a Hindu queen.
Oh, what about her as Jhansi Ke Rani? That would have her with sword and with the regal attitude! But Jhansi is in UP, so I'd prefer Pooja Batra (from UP I think?) to play her. Batra has been so underused, she looks very intelligent, but is given the roles of empty-headed 'pretty' faces. I saw an infinitely repeating trailer in ~2000 with her in it, for a film called 'Kabhi pyaar na ho jaaye' - sorry for misspellings. From what I could make out from the trailer, she obviously had a hard time playing stupid.
My cousin was furious at it, saying Pooja was too clever to always play low-IQ-ed uber-flirts.
Fortunately, in the only movie I saw with her in it, Kandukondain x2, she got a comic role as a Malayali actress who plays action heroines. She was very cute and funny there.
So I think Pooja Batra, having been criminally underused and having played dunces too often, deserves to be given Jhansi Ke Rani. She's the right age for it too, isn't she - she doesn't look to be in her 20s now, anyway. Looking more serious and mature. And more beautiful for it, if I may add.
