It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call this the perfect start. Shraddha Kapoor, the 20-year-old daughter of actor Shakti Kapoor will make her debut with Amitabh Bachchan and Ben Kingsley in Teen Patti that releases in February. The only female actor in the cast, Shraddha, who met producer Ambika Hinduja through a social networking site, says that working with the legends was a “surreal” experience. “I feel so humble and thrilled about it and have immense gratitude for this opportunity.”

At a recent dinner, Shraddha was floored when Sir Kingsley kissed her hand. “Ambika had organised a dinner in London and he asked me to sing. I sang one of Lataji’s songs for him and I was overwhelmed by his appreciation, when he just took my hand and kissed it.”

She says that while a filmy background has its advantages, it comes with its share of downsides. “I’ve always wanted to be an actor, but I believe that there are no short cuts. I am sure people have expectations from me because of my father and maasi (aunt Padmini Kolhapure), but I’m willing to give it my all.” Next up, the actress will be seen walking the ramp for the Chennai Fashion Week in December.

Director Leena Yadav’s ambitious venture featuring the two stalwarts of Hindi and Hollywood cinema - Amitabh Bachchan and Sir Ben Kingsley - Teen Patti is set to release in mid-February 2010. Produced by Ambika Hinduja, the film explores changing human emotions through a series of poker games and kickstarts with a conversation between two mathematic experts at a casino in London. While Kingsley plays Persi Trachtenberg, regarded as the world’s greatest mathematician alive, Bachchan essays the role of Venkat, a reclusive maths genius. Over a casual conversation at the casino with Trachtenberg, Venkat ends up sharing a mathematical equation that could re-define the principles of probability and randomness. Since the two play scholars and professors respectively, scenes have also been shot at the Cambridge University along with R. Madhavan, who plays Shantanu, Venkat’s co-professor.

What follows next is a series of gambling encounters in Mumbai after Shantanu persuades Venkat to try his equation at a game of poker and they find success along with group of college students. The series of encounters have been shot across gambling parlours set-up on streets as well on studios in Mumbai. As the film progresses and the gamblers’ prowess with the equation grows, greed takes over in what initially started off as an experiment of knowledge. It is Trachtenberg who then rescues these knowledge-seekers- turned-gamblers in the climax act. Sharing the spotlight with Bachchan, Kingsley and Madhavan are Siddharth Kher and Raima Sen alongwith newcomers Shraddha Kapoor, Saira Mohan, Dhruv Ganesh and Vaibhav Talwar.
