The horrific rape and murder of 15-year-old British tourist Scarlett Keeling has inspired Prabhakar Shukla (Gudiya fame) to make a film based on the incident. The director says he has already approached Katrina Kaif to play the protagonist in his film titled Rave Party. Incidentally, Katrina was brought up in London. She has a British mother and a Kashmiri father.
“I have approached Katrina to play the role of Scarlett. I hope she agrees to it,” Prabhakar says. “She suits the character so well. Right now, I have no one else in mind to cast as Scarlett. She is the perfect choice.”
The film is expected to start in July this year. “Rave Party is based on what happened to Scarlett. Since the scene of the crime was Goa, I want to shoot it there and give it an authentic feel,” Prabhakar says. “My film will see a Christian lady falling into the drug trap in Goa and getting killed.”
He continues, “I’m going to make this film really big. I want to show the people what is happening in Goa—how there is a drug racket going on in the vacation spot and how people are slowly getting addicted and ruining their lives.”
In February, Scarlett was found dead on Anjuna beach in Goa. Police had then said that she had died from accidental drowning. Her mother Fiona MacKeown however claimed that her daughter was attacked and a second post-mortem was conducted. It revealed that she was raped and killed. It was said that Scarlett was given Ecstasy, cocaine and LSD on the night she died.
