Ekta Kapoor is working on a drama based on the infamous character of 'Robin Hood', which will be aired in a weekend slot on ZEE TV.

According to India-Forums, the success of 'Pavitra Rishta' has paved way for Ekta Kapoor to pen another novel idea for the popular channel.

The title of the show will be 'Keshav Pandit', who is the main character in the best selling novel written by the famous Hindi writer Ved Prakash Sharma. He received lot of accolades for creating the very convincing character of Keshav Pandit, who got very popular.

According to a source, "The search is on to find the actor to play the prized role of Indian Robinhood. Shabbir Ahluwalia who was last seen in Kayamath is one of the options that the production house has. But auditions are on, and the creative team plans to choose a fresh and a younger face. In case they are not able to zero in on a fresh face apt to play the role, Shabbir might be considered".

Newsflash

Director Milan Luthria and producer Ekta Kapoor of ‘Once Upon a Time in Bombay’ are looking for a modern-day replica of yesteryears’ dancing queen – Helen, to dance on a sizzling cabaret number in their movie!

Yesteryears’ danseur Helen, who was known for her stunning onscreen presence and exotic dancing skills is a sort of inspiration for Luthria and Kapoor.

While talking to a news daily on their search for today’s Helen, Luthria said, "Since our film is set during the late 1960s and 1970s, I wanted to bring in the feel, flavour and mood of the era through a cabaret. At first, we thought of an item song with a celebrated guest actress. But that would break the flow and rhythm of the narration. Now, we want a completely new face, Helen of the new millennium. The girl should possess the poise, grace and rhythm of Helen in the 60s."

Talking about the music of ‘Once Upon a Time in Bombay’ music director Pritam Chakraborty said, "That`s precisely the brief given to me. To recreate - I won`t call it a remix - one of RD Burman-Asha Bhosle`s most beloved cabaret songs. It would be a mix of the original rhythm with fresh paces like `…and we twist` in Love Aaj Kal."
