Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta and Shilpa Shetty will be amongthose watching all the women attending the Indian Premier League games in South Africa over the next five weeks to find the newest Bollywood starlet.
The IPL has announced a Bollywood movie role for one lucky South African lass as it prepares to launch the five-week Twenty20 extravaganza here on Saturday with an inaugural double header.
The search for a young South African woman with the potential to take Bollywood by storm was announced here on Thursday by IPL chairman and commissioner Lalit Modi and Bollywood superstars Shah Rukh Khan, Shilpa Shetty and Preity Zinta, all having stakes in the IPL teams.
The lucky South African IPL fan with star quality stands to win a role in a Bollywood movie, 50,000 rands in cash, a business class trip to India and other prizes in the 2009 tournament’s Miss Bollywood SA competition.
“We’re looking for someone who has the star quality to stand out in a crowd, probably without even trying that hard. It’s that special, almost indefinable, quality that makes someone a star more than a beauty queen that we are looking for,” Modi said.
“IPL matches with their mix of fun and excitement are an excellent environment to identify the kind of person who is a natural stand-out in a big crowd.” “Star searches like this are a really great way to find people who may never even have thought that they have what it takes to really make it big,” the badhshah of Bollywood, Shah Rukh said.
