Is Katrina Kaif the numero uno of Bollywood town after her stupendous success in Raajneeti? And is Aishwarya Rai an ageing passé after her flop show with Raavan? If you have begun thinking on those lines, then tighten your seat belts and gear up to be thrown into a world you have never seen before (unless you are more than 60-plus).

Aishwarya Rai is reportedly interested in playing Noor Inayat Khan, a British agent of Indian origin who was sent to occupied France to aid the French Résistance during World War II.

According to Deadline London, the film, budgeted at $15 million, will be produced by Film & Music Entertainment (F&ME) which is owned by British producers Mike Downey and Sam Taylor. It is their biggest project to date and they plan to visit India later during the year to seek funding.

Screenplay for the film, which is expected to start shooting before Christmas, is being developed by Judy Morris (Happy Feet, Babe: Pig In the City).

Noor was the first female radio operator to be sent into occupied France and was honored with the George Cross and the Croix de Guerre.
