Celina Jaitley has been tapped to star in the historical epic THE QUEST OF SHEHERZADE. The International production will recount the tales of the legendary 1001 Nights woven by a mystical warrior princess, Sheherzade. Says Performer / Producer Shani Rigsbee (CRASH, ONE NIGHT WITH THE KING) ,

" I was aware of Celina's work and was anxious to meet and discuss the project and after our meeting, we knew that she truly had the sensitivities and passion for the subject matter which aside from her obvious beauty, were incredible attributes we felt necessary for our project".

Executive Producer, Deborah Davis (BORDERLAND, NIGHTLIFE) says "our version of the Sheherzade story will be approached as a Hollywood style epic which will be both cinematically beautiful but also story driven and we are planning to appeal to an International audience and Celina is the perfect leading lady".

It's a great opportunity to be associated with the project, especially since there are two A-list Hollywood stars, one senior and one junior opposite me. I would like to explore and experiment with different kind of cinema. In fact being fluent in German, I would like to do a German film too.

She adds " Bollywood will always remain a priority for me. I have taken a conscious decision to do two good Bollywood films and one international film every year. I will be very selective about the kind of films, I want to be associated with. I will focus on quality, it's every actors dream to be taken seriously as an actor.

Also I am very fortunate to be associated with professional managers in the west. They take care of every aspect of my career professionally. I am even more fortunate since the agency has the veritable A-listers in their roster. Thankfully I didn't have to struggle. I will give it my best shot.
