Filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi has taken Lekha Washington under his wings. Lekha is Santoshi's latest muse. Buzz is that Santoshi has signed Lekha for a three-film deal, reports Mumbai Mirror.
The first film in question is Power. Produced by Firoz Nadiadwala, it has already gone on the floors.
Says a source, “Power is a fabulous opportunity for Lekha. It's a very big film with top actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgan, It will be a great learning platform of acting for Lekha.” Mentor ho toh aisa!
The industry is also buzzing that Lekha has been paid a bomb for Power. “Santoshi facilitated a handsome fee for her as well.
So what if she has done only one film till now (Peter Gaya Kaam Se opposite Rajeev Khandelwal) which too hasn't released yet? He sees a lot of potential in her.”
Both Lekha and Santoshi remained unavailable for comment.
