Perizaad Zorabian may not have the most happening career in Bollywood. But she has stolen a march over Aishwarya Rai. While Ash's international films are yet to take off, Perizaad has already landed in London to begin shooting for an international movie.
Mind Gamez, a British thriller to be directed by Laurens Postma, will co-star the legendary Malcolm MacDowell (A Clockwork Orange).
"I didn't know Malcolm was part of the cast," Perizaad says excitedly. "I thought it would be another British actor. I have not watched any of his films, but that's a conscious decision. I do not want to be intimidated by him. You will never be afraid of what you don't know! Besides, my character can't afford to be scared."
Perizaad plays Raveena, a Miss India, who "takes you for a ride."
"My character is driven, powerful, who meets Malcolm head on." she says. "The script is written so clearly. All I am thinking now is: Will I be able to deliver?
Malcolm plays Percy, a powerful businessman, who has immense control over people. "He is one of those company heads who judge beauty pageants. That is how we meet. But my character does not get intimidated by him."
