Deepa Mehta’s plan for the next century
Her new film in the elements’ series on Indian partition is definitely going to be a big hit, what with a powerful storyline and a multi-star cast. But today Deepa Mehta is in news for an altogether different reason.
It’s just that the Canada-based film-maker’s, who is known for her hit series - Fire and Earth, plans for welcoming the next millenium are being crystallised. On 1/1/2000, Deepa will be lunching with the US First Lady - Hillary Clinton.
The party is scheduled to be hosted at the White House and the luncheon’s stars will be the 15 most powerful, creative and influential women in the world. Ooof, the list should read as the ‘Who’s who’ of femaledom.
Anyway, at the birth of the new century when most of the world’s computer networks will be caving in, Deepa and her band of ‘15 most powerful, creative and influential women’ will be gaily enjoying their new super-status.
