Here's a Start: Naveed Ozman and Rekha |
San Francisco-based Naveed, 26, is an investment banker. He is now being groomed by Rekha for B-Town.
Says a source, "As Naveed was born and bred in the US, he has a heavy Yankee accent.
Rekha has packed him off to a diction class to help him lose the accent. She also wants Naveed to go through the rigours of acting.
The diva refused to accommodate him in her Bandra bungalow. He lives in a one-room studio flat at Pali Market."
The source adds, "When Vikram saw Naveed's pictures, he thought he would fit the bill for Khalid's venture which begins soon. Vikram spoke to Rekha and fixed up a meeting."
Says Vikram, "We are talking to Naveed. At the moment, I can't reveal more about the film."
When quizzed if the flick will feature new faces a trait synonymous with Vikram he says, "There will be both known and new faces."
Khalid's past films include Fiza, Tehzeeb and Silsiilay.
