After Meenaxi Sheshadri, Madhuri Dixit, Manisha Koirala, Mahima Chowdhary and Isha Shravani eminent filmmaker Subhash Ghai has turned out to be the launch pad for yet another new actress, his sixth heroine for the tinsel town. On his birthday on 24th Jan, the Showman of B-town introduced Misti for his 19th film, ‘Kaanchi’.

'My hunt for kaanchi is over today,' said the relieved filmmaker, whose film ‘Kaanchi’ had been in news for long time and the shooting had been getting delayed for the search of a perfect heroine. 'It was my very intense struggle to find a KAANCHI,

I went on auditioning the most beautiful girls and the talented ones; around 350 girls were auditioned to get the right Kaanchi, the way I had imagined in my script,' quoted Ghai in a statement.

According to Ghai, it is really a tough job to write a good script which, promises to be a blockbuster, as well as a great story with great characters, particularly the protagonist and the tougher job is when one decides to pick up a newcomer to play the title role instead of an established star .

Recalling the time how he chose his leading lady, Subhash Ghai shared, 'I found so many beautiful girls with talent but could not find my Kaanchi in them till I saw a picture of MISHTI who is from Kolkata. As I auditioned Mishti, I knew in the very first shot 'that she was the Kaanchi I was looking for'. I was been looking more for the right face rather than a beauty.

Today I am glad that my hunt is over. What I have to do is now is to just make a beautiful film ‘KAANCHI.' Subhash Ghai is also known for presenting his heroines with a strong presence and beauty on screen, which included Aishwarya in ‘Taal’ and Katrina in ‘Yuvraaj’.

All now Ghai asks for is the support and good wishes of everyone for ‘Kaanchi’.
