Deepa
Mehta
is
busy
promoting
her
film
Water
which
releases
on
Feb
9.
She
was
down
in
Mumbai
for
a
series
of
press
conferences
for
the
film.
But
from
her
busy
schedule
she
did
find
time
to
meet
a
very
important
personality
from
the
Bollywood
fraternity,
yes
none
other
then
our
very
own
Mr
Bachchan.
And this meet did turn out to be quite successful. Deepa Mehta inked a deal with the Big B for her upcoming film titled Exclusion. Earlier entitled Kamagata Maru, this true-life tale of a ship that took a group of illegal Indians to the shores of Canada in the early part of the 19th century, will feature the Big B alongside John Abraham.
Mira Nair has also signed Bachchan for her next grand international project, Shantaram. The film will star Johnny Depp in lead role and is jointly produced by Depp and Brad Pitt.
Thus, even if Mr. Bachchan wants it or not, international filmmakers are making a beeline at his doorstep, all set to make him an internationally superstar.
