Gurinder prefers the letter 'B' and so we have Bhaji On The Beach, Bend It Like Beckham and Bride And Prejudice. Even the Hindi version of her latest film is called Balle Balle! Amritsar to LA.

Her next production will not have a 'B' in it. Mistress Of Spices, based on Chitra Banerjee Divakurni's novel and to be directed by her husband Paul Mayeda Berges, will also star Ash.

Bride And Prejudice has Anu Malik's score, Santosh Sivan [left]'s cinematography and Saroj Khan's choreography.

The film will release in India and Britain next Friday, October 8, and in the US around Christmas.
