She is Latika (LATIKAAAAA) from Slumdog Millionaire! And she is coming to film, with the great Palestinian actress, Hiam Abbas, and the movie is directed by the great Julian Schnabel (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Before night falls), and they are making a movie about... My Old School! Could it be more orgasmic?
I'm so excited, the filimng begins in just 2 weeks, I will do whatever I can to get a picture, and it will definitly be posted here (If I ever get one)
