Indian Charlie's Angels

Three spunky girls armed with gadgets and guns will thrash the baddies on the Indian silver screen too.

Yes, Bollywood filmmaker Yagnesh Shetty has plans to make a very sleek and stylish movie featuring three actresses in the roles of action heroines along the lines of American TV show Charlie’s Angels. The three actresses are Amrita Arora, Kim Sharma and newcomer Leher (who is from England).

The film is titled Boomerang and it won’t have any heroes. What it will indeed have is lots of special effects and graphic imagery a la Matrix. In fact, reports have it that the team that did stunts for Matrix has already been roped in for action scenes in Boomerang.

What’s more, meticulous attention is being paid to the styling of the three actresses in the film. Special suits have been designed for them. Each girl will also be carrying weapons and gadgets, which they will learn to use.

Above all, the three girls have been practicing strenuously for their action roles in the film. Amrita Arora, for instance, has been learning roller-skating, biking, high kicks and other stunts using cable suspension.

The movie’s makers are leaving no stone unturned to give it an international look. The film will be shot in Cyprus and China.
