The trend of casting a foreigner girl in their desi movies as heroines seems on a rise amongst the Indian film makers. Every other director/producer wants to attract audience by casting a fresh new face imported from abroad. We are in doubt is it because the Indian audience is bored with the regular Indian face or is it that the film industry is hit by a terrible drought in acting skill and beautiful girls eager to act which thus requires us to import new faces from a foreign land.

We now have so many heroines that have been brought from abroad that you you cant count on fingure. Be it Barbara in Kites or Jacqueline in Aladdin, the desi stories have been spiced up by the videsi masalas. One such movie, lined up for release, 'Jeet lengey Jahaan' has two heroines from two very diverse countries. Neelambari Perumal comes from Sri Lanka while the other heroine Anna comes from Georgia. This film will be a Bollywood debut for Neelambari, she has already done a Malayalam Film 'Bombay Mittai'. Anna also has done two-three hindi films prior to this one.

When the director of the movie Lalit was asked the reason for taking two Foreign girls as the heroines in the movie, he replied, "No, there is no special reason for this. It is a mere co-incident. Though Neelambari is a Sri Lankan but she has stayed in India for quiet sometime now and has taken her education in India itself while Anna’s character was the need of the movie. Both, Neelambari and Anna have done a great job in the movie.”

More to it we all knows Mahesh Bhatt has selected adult entertainment actress Sunny Leone as lead girl in his new movie 'Jism 2', which will be made under Pooja Bhatt's banner, Fish Eye Network. Mahesh Bhatt told after his brief visit into the Bigg Boss 5 house."She is well aware that language could act as barrier, but is ready to put in that extra effort. She has agreed to do 'Jism 2' Now they will work out things with Sunny's agent and work out the nitty-gritties,"

Its seems many more new videsi faces are to be surfaced in Desi movies.
