Jacqueline Fernandes is a top five star in the making as she coolly proved at the recent promotional event for Aladin, wearing a yellow satin shirt and green pencil-line skirt. Top hunk John Abraham has been one of the first to notice and has already signed her up for his as-yet unnamed in-house spy movie. “The movie is a spy thriller and required a glamorous chick,” says a source for the movie, “Jacqueline will also be seen in a sporty avatar. The film goes on the floor early next year.”
Tarun Masukhani of Dostana-fame is likely to start another project soon and also sees Jacqueline as a potential star. “For me, it’s not just the matter of Jacqueline showing immense confidence in her first ever movie, but the fact that she has very good screen presence and her look can be tweaked around being Indian or Western as per the demand of the situation,” he explains, “For me, that’s her biggest selling point.”
Australian-educated Jacqueline is very excited by her debut movie Aladin. “I’m really excited about working on it because it will be the first of its kind in Bollywood,” she says, “The special effects will be done by the same people who worked on some of the Harry Potter, Matrix and Spiderman movies.”
