After screening a bevy of Indian beauties, Italian director Italo Spinelli has chosen the dusky Paoli to play a tribal woman — with a topless shot — in his forthcoming film "Choli Ke Peechhe" (Behind the Bodice), based on a short story by Mahasweta Devi.
“I haven’t gone through the script in detail. There are a few bold scenes including nudity, but as an actor I have no inhibitions with anything at all. Besides, it’s an international film and international stars do such scenes often,” said Paoli, who has been finalised, though she hasn’t signed the contract yet.
“I am really excited! It’s my first international project and I have always dreamt of being a part of an international project,” smiled the girl from Golf Club Road. The role had been offered to both Nandana Sen and Sahana Goswami, who reportedly passed up the project because they were shy of showing too much.
“Paoli wasn’t our first choice. We had 28 people in mind but Paoli fit the best. She has the classical look of Smita Patil and that’s why we felt she was the best for the role,” said Behind the Bodice producer Vinod Kumar of Nirvana Motion Pictures.
