ÂSalty Gracy in ÂWhite LandÂ
- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,June 19 2010]
Gracy Singh seems to have this uncanny ability to attract a wide variety of roles that many actresses can only dream of.
Earlier, she played the village belle and the legendary Aamir KhanÂs love interest in ÂLagaanÂ. Then she played a doctor and matched her wits with the adorable Sunjay Dutt in ÂMunnabhai MBBSÂ. And now, sheÂs back to the village. But this time, Gracy does not play an ordinary rustic girl. On the contrary, she plays the coveted role of a powerful, village ÂsarpanchÂ, no less.
The film is ÂWhite LandÂ, directed by Jayant Gilatar. The film is a powerfully narrated account, based on a real story focusing on the salt workers of Gujarat. According to those who know about the film, GracyÂs strong role and her equally stunning performance have the potential to take her career to dizzying heights, once again.
Filmmakers apparently are already aware of what Gracy can do as an actress. After all, that is precisely why sheÂs being offered such strong roles. Says Jayant Gilatar, ÂWhite Land is a real story based on GujaratÂs Âsalt workersÂ. We were looking for someone who had mass appeal, a strong screen presence as well as the ability to perform the powerful and complex role of the village ÂsarpanchÂ. And Gracy has all that. She was the perfect actress for the role.Â
Well, going by the kind of films she is being offered these days, there seem to be many filmmakers thinking on similar lines!
