I am definitely going to play Rani Laxmibai. We will produce the movie. We are conducting research on it at the moment. I pray that all those who want to make Rani Laxmibai should finish making it so I can start my version. I don't want to make it in haste. Dr Chandraprakash Diwedi is just doing the research. He is not directing it.
My film Karma, Confession & Holi is complete and will be released in May. It will be released at Robert De Niro's Tribeca Film Festival before coming to India. It was a great experience. It is a conversational film, and I like it because the climax is holi. We made Naomi Campbell and the cast play holi to get them into the Indian spirit of celebration. That, for me, has been the high point of the film because if we must go to Hollywood, we must take our culture there.
Aishwarya and I would love to work together. The problem is she doesn't like the roles I like, and vice versa. That is bound to happen because the media has created this rivalry between us.
I don't mind Vikram Bhatt making a film on me. My life belongs to me, but if someone wants to make a film on it, let him or her do it."
