Kareena might play me

The film is being made by Rajkumar Gupta, the
director of Aamir, and is titled No One Killed Jessica. “I know that the film is
more about the aftermath of Jess’ death (she was killed by Manu Sharma and Vikas
Yadav, both sons of politicians). It’s about the legal tussle that followed,”
she says. That means that a major part of the film would be based on her – would
she like to be a part of the film? “The only way I’d like to be a part of the
film is by reading the script and seeing that things are portrayed correctly,”
she says. Not acting her part in the film? “No, no! I can’t act. Goodness
gracious! I’d just like to know how the film is being made,” she laughs.
Rajkumar has been in touch with Sabrina since last year. “Yes, I met them (Rajkumar
and Anubhuti, the makers) last year.

And the fact that they’re not the regular Bollywood
commercial people is comforting. I’m not worried about the way the film’s going
to be handled because I’m quite sure that these guys are going to do a good
job,” says Sabrina. And who does she think should play her character in the
film? “Rajkumar had approached Kareena Kapoor to play me in the film. I don’t
know who’s going to play Jess. Honestly, I don’t know who should act or not in
the film. I’m only concerned about the concept and the context of the film being
right,” she says. The title of the film, No One Killed Jessica, is from a TOI
headline published in February 2006. “Yes, that headline did have a huge impact
on people. It created a wave and affected these guys – that’s how the movie came
about. Thanks!” she says.

Sabrina is also in sync with TOI’s Lead India
campaign, which is aimed at getting people to vote. “Everybody I come across, I
let them know that they should vote. That’d ensure that people like Manu
Sharma’s dad don’t come into power and can’t get away with things that they got
away with earlier. There shouldn’t be more tragedies which can go unaccounted
for, with people too scared to speak out against them,” she says emphatically.
