Sensation sells… Ram Gopal Verma made a film on the 26/11 incident that rocked Mumbai and named it The Attacks of 26/11. Now director Yogesh Jaadhav has roped in actress Tejaa Deokar to play Jiah Khan in his film Nati that is based on the late actress’ mysterious suicide that rocked the entire film industry. Currently, Jaadhav is on the hunt for an actor who looks similar to Suraj Pancholi. Talking about the film, Tejaa said, "Yes we are making Nati on the life of an actress who is frustrated with her career and her love life especially. It is a journey of a woman and the circumstances which makes her to commit suicide. I think this will be one of the most powerful and provocative films ever tried in Marathi Cinema and I am looking forward to it." But is the film based on the Jiah Khan's suicide case? "I cannot reveal much about the subject as we don't want to fall into any legal hassles for the moment. Also, I am into a strict confidentiality contract with my film's director," answered Tejaa. Tejaa is best known for her roles in films such as Adla Badli (Sachin), Hirwa Kunku, Dharpakad and the critically acclaimed Oxygen. Nati has been scheduled to hit the screens in the month of October (2013).
