Actress-filmmaker Pooja Bhatt is in no hurry to cast an actress for her next production Cabaret. She says that a newcomer or someone willing to reinvent herself, who possesses good acting and dancing skills, would be apt for the role. Randeep Hooda has been finalised to essay the male lead in the film, while the hunt for the leading lady continues.
Kaustav Narayan Niyogi will make his directorial debut with Cabaret. ‘Yes, the hunt (for an actress) is still on. I don’t want to be in a hurry because I need to cast the right actress for this film. Cabaret is a very special film and it demands an actress who can act as well as dance, which is a rare combination in itself,’ Pooja said. ‘It is going to be difficult to find the right actress. We are looking for somebody completely new or someone who wants to reinvent herself,’ she added.
