Celina wants to ape Monica Bellucci
Not just content with working in an international film ‘Love Has No Language’, Celina Jaitley now wishes to work in the desi version of the notable Italian film ‘Malena’ (2000), which had actor Monica Bellucci as protagonist.
Directed by Giuseppe Tornatore, the film was nominated for the Oscars. Here, Celina discloses the impact that the film has made on her.
You seem to be very impressed with the film ‘Malena’
Ever since I saw it, I can’t get over it. I was lucky to lay my hands on the film’s DVD. The script’s beauty lies in the fact that it makes you think about your very existence. I must have seen it multiple times. Yet, I don’t mind viewing it again.
What’s so special about the film?
The film is about Malena-a young woman (played by Monica Bellucci), who is trapped in a Sicilian town while her husband is away serving in the World War. She is so lonely, that she becomes an easy target of lust for most men in the town. She is raped, brutalised and used! In this situation comes a young boy, who watches her go through all the humiliation. The relationship, which the two share, is heart-warming. The boy observes her from a distance and even tries to gain courage from the way she faces adversities.
What do you think of actor Monica Bellucci?
Monica has brought out the pathos very well. I couldn’t stop crying watching her. Her innocence and vulnerability make her stand out as an actor.

I feel challenged. I wish I could be part of such a film. I wish some filmmaker makes this film in Bollywood. I would be more than happy to play this role. It would be the right opportunity to relive a great role. Such stories deserve to be told in all parts of the world, especially in Bollywood, which has a huge market.
