Celina
Jaitley
has
been
tapped
to
star
in
the
historical
epic
The
Quest
of
Sheherzade.
The
International
production
will
recount
the
tales
of
the
legendary
1001
Nights
woven
by
a
mystical
warrior
princess,
Sheherzade.
Says
Performer
/
Producer
Shani
Rigsbee
(Crash,
One
Night
with
the
King),
"I
was
aware
of
Celina's
work
and
was
anxious
to
meet
and
discuss
the
project
and
after
our
meeting,
we
knew
that
she
truly
had
the
sensitivities
and
passion
for
the
subject
matter
which
aside
from
her
obvious
beauty,
were
incredible
attributes
we
felt
necessary
for
our
project".
Executive
Producer,
Deborah
Davis
(Borderland,
Nightlife)
says,
"Our
version
of
the
Sheherzade
story
will
be
approached
as
a
Hollywood
style
epic
which
will
be
both
cinematically
beautiful
and
also
story
driven;
we
plan
to
appeal
to
the
International
audience
and
Celina
is
the
perfect
leading
lady".
"It's
a
great
opportunity
to
be
associated
with
this
project,
especially
since
there
are
two
A-list
Hollywood
stars,
one
senior
and
one
junior
opposite
me.
I
would
like
to
explore
and
experiment
with
different
kinds
of
cinema.
In
fact,
being
fluent
in
German,
I
would
like
to
do
a
German
film
too" says
Celina.
She
adds
"Bollywood
will
always
remain
a
priority
for
me.
I
have
taken
a
conscious
decision
to
do
two
good
Bollywood
films
and
one
international
film
every
year.
I
will
be
very
selective
about
the
kind
of
films
I
want
to
be
associated
with."
"Also
I
am
very
fortunate
to
be
connected
with
professional
managers
in
the
west.
They
look
after
every
aspect
of
my
career
professionally.
I
am
even
more
honored
since
the
agency
has
the
veritable
A-listers
in
their
roster.
Thankfully
I
didn't
have
to
struggle.
I
will
give
it
my
best
shot",
Celina
signs
off.
