It is said that more one is experienced the doors of fortune open up for him/her. The same has happened with the 46-year old Juhi Chawla. She has been roped in by producers Steven Spielberg and Reliance Entertainment to play an important role in their film The Hundred Foot Journey. The film, based on American writer Richard C Morais’ book of the same name, is about an Indian chef who makes his mark in the haute cuisine of France. The film directed by Lasse Hallstrom also has Om Puri and Helen Mirren in the cast. According to our source in the film industry a large portion of the film has already been shot in France. The unit will soon move to Mumbai for a shoot schedule. The shoot in the megapolis has been necessitated because since Om Puri plays an Indian living in Paris, his portions needed an Indian backdrop. Hence the unit will be filming in Mumbai. Here it may be recalled when Spielberg was in India earlier this year he had met several Bollywood actors during his visit. The casting team did suggest a few names among which featured Juhi’s name.
