Bollywood beauties Aishwarya Rai and Katrina Kaif are among nine candidates for the upcoming Runelords movie. They’re joined by several prominent Hollywood stars as well in a group of nominees that fans will vote on to determine who will play which major roles in the film.
As Aishwarya Rai baby news continues to receive daily attention, there’s also another aspect to Mrs. Bachchan (pictured). She’s not only a Bollywood mom, but also an actress. She’ll be among those being considered for a role in the new Runelords movie. Joining her is Katrina Kaif, another Bollywood babe, as well as Deepika Padukone. All three of these Bollywood babes will be up for the same role.
The Hollywood “heavyweights” included in the voting are Kellan Lutz of “Twilight” fame, Bruce Willis, Brad Pitt, Zak Efron, Russell Crowe, and Hayden Christensen. SF Gate reports that the public will cast votes on their choices to appear in the “Runelords” cast. It appears there will be three actors chosen of the nine. Voting will conclude Jaunary 31, 2012.
“Runelords” is a fantasy series written by David Farland about a mythical universe which involves superhuman beings. These “lords” are able to take endowments from others to increase their magical abilities, and in the process become even more powerful.
The role that could go to Katrina, Deepika, or Aishwarya is that of Iome, the “outrageously beautiful princess.” Brad Pitt, Bruce Willis, or Russell Crowe may get the part of “wise King Orden.” Prince Gaborn will go to either Zak Efron, Hayden Christensen, Kellan Lutz. So now it’s up to fans to decide who plays who!
It will be interesting to see which of these stars ends up winning the public votes. Aishwarya Rai has always been popular, but has surged in popularity even more since having her baby, Beti B. Someone like Brad Pitt seems like a shoe-in to get enough votes for a role, but is he “wise king” material more so than Crowe? Which young actor will get the role of Prince Gaborn, a “Twilight” star, Darth Vader, or Mr. “High School Musical” himself?
