After
going
through
a
whole
roster
of
could-be
leading
ladies
from
Konkona
Sen
to
Urvashi
Sharma
(who
was
almost
finalized),
Arshad
Warsi
has
finally
found
a
leading
lady
for
his
first
home
production
tentatively
titled
I
Believe
In
Angels
...just
weeks
before
the
film
is
scheduled
to
go
on
the
floors
in
London
in
July.
Though
Arshad
is
tight-lipped
about
his
heroine
crisis,
as
getting
the
right
girl
for
his
first
film
to
be
directed
by
Kabeer
Kaushik
has
not
been
easy.
Says
a
source,
"All
the
girls
who
were
Arshad's
pals
turned
him
down.
Arshad
is
in
a
peculiar
place
right
now.
He's
seen
as
a
natural
scene-stealer
but
not
leading-man
material.
The
big
heroines
are
wary
of
being
paired
with
him.
Lara
Dutta
said
no
to
Shortkut,
though
it
was
an
Anil
Kapoor
Production,
when
she
heard
Arshad
was
one
of
the
leading
men."
Diya
Mirza
gladly
said
Yes.
"First
of
all,
I've
always
enjoyed
Arshad's
performances
and
it's
an
honour
to
be
in
a
film
to
be
produced
by
him.
Then
when
I
heard
the
script
I
simply
fell
in
love
with
my
role
and
the
script.
Every
character
is
so
beautifully
written,
I'm
sure
Arshad's
first
production
is
going
to
turn
out
to
be
very
special."
Diya
plays
a
very
sweet
angelic
character
in
I
Believe
In
Angels.
"I've
that
image.
And
I
suit
it.
Though
I'm
not
bound
by
the
sweet
image
I
don't
mind
being
perceived
as
ideal
for
angelic
roles
at
a
time
when
every
second
girl
enjoys
playing
the
wicked
one."
