Shekhar Kapur wants Kristen for Paani
Hindustantimes: 
India’s tryst with Hollywood promises to get bigger. Twilight beauty Kristen Stewart, for instance, continues to rank high on filmmaker Shekhar Kapur’s wishlist for his ambitious film, Paani.
The Elizabeth director has just wrapped up the final draft of the script and is all set to approach Kristen to star in his film.“I have just finished the eighth draft of Paani’s script. I’m going to send the script to Kristen,” says Kapur. “I have had a conversation with her about the film but I have no idea whether she’ll accept the offer or not.”
Last year, there were reports that Kristen was already part of Paani. Her representative had clarified, “…She is not set to star in this film.” Kapur too had said, “…People are jumping to conclusions.”
Besides Kristen, Hrithik Roshan was also believed to be playing the male lead. But Kapur clarifies that the casting process is yet to start. “I do have certain actors in mind but I shouldn’t go on record about the cast until everything is finalised,” he says, adding the film has a lavish budget.
“Paani isn’t a small film. After all, it is a $35 million venture. And I’m not going through the standard studio procedure for production. My film will be an independently-funded project. All such things, obviously, take time,” says Kapur, adding that his film will go on the floors as soon as the cast is in place.
If Kristen accepts the role, she will play a stunning wealthy girl who will romance the male lead. It’s believed that the futuristic Paani is about a lower-class Mumbai rebel who stealthily visits the more elite part of the city where a beautiful girl crosses his path, and they fall in love.

Oscar Nominee Amy Adams Shares Her Scenes With Kristen Stewart In 'On The Road'
There are very few reasons not to get excited about "On the Road." Director Walter Salles' adaptation of the classic Jack Kerouac novel is easily one of the most awaited book-to-film projects currently in development, and to say that the expectations for the Garrett Hedlund-starring flick are high — at least in our neck of the woods — is a very big understatement.
Just look at the cast assembled for this movie: Sam Riley stars as Sal Paradise, the tale's protagonist, with Hedlund as the cool but conniving Dean Moriarty, Kristen Stewart as Mary Lou and Amy Adams as Jane.
On the red carpet of the 83rd Annual Academy Awards on Sunday (February 27), we caught up with Adams, who was nominated that evening for "The Fighter" but lost to co-star Melissa Leo, about her work on "On the Road." But if you're hoping for a massive update from the frequently nominated Oscar contender, you're out of luck — although she plays an important role, Adams has yet to see any footage from the film.
"I haven't seen anything," she told MTV News. "I haven't even seen a photograph. But I'm really, really excited."
So are we, especially considering the lineup of actors she's working with, including "Twilight" sweetheart Kristen Stewart: "My whole part involves Kristen Stewart, Garrett Hedlund, Sam [Riley] and Viggo Mortensen."
"It's pretty dark," she agreed.
