“Zaid: Chubby but good looking”
Good luck.

I’m looking forward on how this would turn out to be…
Would like to try out but I’ve got school and exams and all those useless things =(
Hrmm … lets see here:
1. Chubby — check
2. Good looking — well, I can fake it really well
3. Charming — why, absolutely
4. Creative — sure
“(2) Applicants for the three main roles should be able (and willing) to sing, or at least hold a note. (3) Applicants for the three main roles should also be able (and willing) to dance.”
“Able and willing to sing” — depends, are there a lot of rain/shower/water scenes? I sound well with the water + bathroom tile acoustics.
“should also be able (and willing) to dance.” — if its anything more than the twist … I’m f*ked.
Actually — I should reprise my role in Grease that I did for highschool …. ah, those were the days……
oh man oh man!!! a MUSICAL!! I love musical films they are just awesome!! I always wished that one day I would walk down in Salmiya and then I would start singing and then another person would follow my lead and then another and so on just like “Singin in the Rain” 😀 its like dream come true. I can’t wait to see the production on this this thing. I salut you Shashti 🙂
darkwolf:
You can go do Dubai, and just stand around while they film any one of the Indian movies — its the same thing. People walking down the street, and all of a sudden — its dance fever.
Reminds me of Russell Peters joke.
Zaid HAS to be Holla, can’t imagine anyone else who would fit the part so perfectly!
LMAO also, I am already an award winning actor 😀
Does anyone else think that this is sounding a lot like an episode of the Simpsons?
sounds like a joke lol
