PROVING HER METTLE Reema Ali plays Virgin Mira PHOTO: ANU PUSHKARNA
Yet another crossover movie, that increasingly popular new genre of small budget films with a `different' subject? One ponders over this as the title of the movie, Virgin... Mira strikes a different chord. The movie revolves around a small town Muslim girl who sets out to fulfil her father's dream. As she struggles to survive she comes across the shocking story of a London-based girl selling her virginity to the highest bidder. But this is all that director Amit R. Agarwal agrees to reveal about his first movie. The protagonist of the movie is played by a Bahrain-based girl, Reema Ali, who incidentally happens to be the daughter of the co-producer Gul Rehaana.
"Terrorism is just a sub plot of the film," says Amit. "It is not a movie about terrorism or to end it, it deals with a girl and her strong take on life."
Its star cast is formed of complete newcomers. The director says he required the actress to speak with an accent, and that was beautifully fulfilled by the newcomer Reema. "I wanted to make the characters look real and not like this actor or that. People can, thus, relate to the story and the characters.
