The bad man and a white lie

WHILE MUCH sound and fury is expended on every Hollywood move Aishwarya Rai makes, there is one man who is quietly going about making waves internationally - our very own bad man Gulshan Grover.

Gulshan has just returned from Los Angeles where he finished shooting for Little White Lie, an experimental short telling a story of human compassion in the medium of still photographs shot in a special digital sequence. Casting veteran Michael Hirshenson produced the film.

On casting Gulshan, Hirshenson says, "being a producer and in the casting business in Hollywood for many years, I wanted a talent for this role, a person with a strong presence and natural acting talent. I immediately thought of Gulshan Grover whose work I had seen. To me as the creative producer, the strange intimidating man in the dark alley in the film is Gulshan Grover. After working with Gulshan I feel he is not only a talent of international calibre but a true professional, who understand the working system of Hollywood."

Fashion photographer Ash Gupta directed and shot the film. About the film he said, "The images were to be high fashion frames, shot in editorial format, storyboarded in motion sequencing. Casting had to be very specific - experienced models who could transcend the media they knew, and push into an emotional arena that they would form themselves, matching Gulshan's intensity." Gulshan's co-stars were Brazilian supermodel Ria fe Alexander and writer/actor Maximallian Xavier from California. Reinvention thy name is Gulshan Grover!
