I'm a cancer survivor: Barbara

Barbara Mori never imagined that a movie she made six years ago would be her second release in India. "I don't even know who is releasing the film there," she told us from Mexico, and added, "But I'm happy that Indians will get to see it so that you can see another kind of work of mine ."



And she's confident that the cuts made by the censor board due to instances of frontal nudity in the film will not affect the plot. What she's not sure about, however, is how Indian audiences will relate to the subject of the film, which is infidelity, and seems intrigued when told that the last major Indian film that dealt with the subject — Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna — met with mixed responses.

While Barbara maintains that she's still in touch with her Kites co-star Hrithik Roshan, she says that she's unaware of whether the release of her film was pushed by a week so that it wouldn't clash with Hrithik's latest release. And even though Kites bombed at the box office, she still counts it among her best work, along with the 2008 film Love, Pain and Vice-Versa. Does she have any more Bollywood films lined up? "I don't have any offer yet, but I would love to work on another film," she said. What about offers from Hollywood? "Yes, I have offers, but there is nothing sure yet," she added.

Barbara may not have any new films lined up, but she's been busy with a couple of other projects. Barabara was only too ready to take up Namrata Singh Gujral's offer to be part of the film that also features Olivia Newton-John and Lisa Ray, among other stars. "She invited me to be part of the commentary because I am a cancer survivor. It was really touching to be part of this project. It will create consciousness in the woman to take care of herself, to go to the doctor to get herself checked," she said.

Next, Barbara will kick butt in a film Viento en Contra in which she is acting as well as producing.
