Diva Rekha has announced that she’s penning her autobiography, and there are talks that the beauty is keen to make a film adaptation of the book on her life as well. With Aishwarya Rai having played the protagonist in the modern Urmao Jaan, just like Rekha did in the yesteryear classic, the big question now is: Who is the most apt actress to play celluloid Rekha… Indiatimes Movies got in touch with a few filmmakers for their views…

Subhash Ghai: I would opt to cast Rekha herself. Why settle for a duplicate when the original is in front of you? She is a remarkable looker, a great actresss … And if not Rekha, I’d settle for a new face. None of the actress’ of today would fit the bill…

Jaya Bachchan, the veteran bollywood actress and mother-in-law of gorgeous Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, has created a storm by supporting Ashutosh Gowarikar in questioning Priyanka Chopra’s best actress award while ignoring the claims of her daughter-in-law at IIFA in Macau.

Jaya Bachchan feels that Aishwarya Rai’s character of Jodha Bai in Ashutosh Gowarikar’s directorial venture ‘Jodhaa Akbar’ was more deserving of the best actress award than Priyanka Chopra’s role in Madhur Bhandarkar’s flick ‘Fashion’. Though the veteran actress claimed in the same vein that she was yet to see Priyanka Chopra’s film ‘Fashion’ , but it did not make her wait before passing a judgment on Priyanka’s histrionics prowess vis-à-vis Aishwarya Rai.

Sources say that Jaya Bachchan’s displeasure was more pronounced as all other principal actors of ‘Jodhaa Akbar’, including Hrithik Roshan, had won awards in their respective categories. Only Aishwarya Rai and cinematographer Kiran Deohans could not manage to get any awards at the function and this despite the fact that Big B was the brand ambassador of the IIFA function.
