| SUMMARY |

-
"The film is set in London, and has a very tricky plot. The
audiences
will not know till the last as to which of the heroines will
get Govinda, " according to Dhulia.
Director Tigmanshu Dhulia has cast Govinda in the lead as the con,
who falls in love with a much younger, and overweight, woman, played
by Rimi Sen. According to a member of the film crew, Rimi Sen, who
has worked with Dhulia before, will weigh in at 160 kilos for the
part! |

| Kabir's
part |
|
Kabir
to play a major role, a con man.
Director Tigmanshu Dhulia: "The con artiste’s character
in the film is suave, stylish and has a powerful aura around
him. It makes it easy for a con artiste to dupe his victims when
he has such a personality. He is an extremely handsome person
who travels in expensive, super luxe cars. For this role, we
wanted someone older and weren’t looking for actors from
the younger lot. Kabir fits the bill perfectly and I am glad
that he has agreed to act in Showman." |

QUICK BITS |
• Kabir
talked about this project in several interviews, among them
his BBC Radio interview with his ex-wife Nikki Bedi, on June
18, 2008.
• Director
Tigmanshu Dhulia: "Yes,
we have signed Kabir Bedi for our film and we’ll start
shooting in London from July 23, 2008. Right from the time
when the film was
in its scripting stages, we had Kabir in mind to essay the
role of the conman. We were apprehensive since he rarely
does films now. However, once we narrated the script to him,
he was ready, and excited about the film."
• According to a crew member, Rimi Sen, who has worked
with Dhulia before, will weigh in at 160 kilos for her part
