/> Urmila Matondkar has never been more glamorously inclined. For the role of the high-flying super-socialite in the new remake of the 1980 blockbuster Karz, Urmila is going to be more glam-driven than for any other part that she has ever played.

Urmila's favourite costume designer Manish Malhotra is working on her clothes which will reflect the character's diva-like splendour.A budget of several crores have beeen set aside for Urmila's clothes.

Says Urmila, "She'll basically be an ageless diva. A very stylish and super-exclusive heiress and her clothes and demeanour would reflect a kind of inherent glamour."

Manish Malhotra has been asked to design some of the most elaborate and expensive clothes ever worn by an actress for any part. "Manish and I have collaborated on numerous films. But this one will be something else, " laughs Urmila.

The character's clothes, hairstyle amd lifestyle all seem to indicate a royal status. And indeed the character's inherent aristocracy is inspired by none other than Gayatri Devi.

Reveals the director Satish Kaushik, "Urmila in Karz will be the epitome of glamorous high-flying existence. She's a 50-plus woman who lives in isolated splendour in a castle, wears the most stunning clothes and lives life queen-size.

She'll be riding horses, flying planes and gambling the night away in casinos and living the high life at the highest level."

It'd apparently be the most lavishly done-up female character ever in a Hindi film.

"We're certainly aiming at that. And Urmila has the correct body language to carry off the role of the queen-like socialite who also sings and shakes a leg in two songs with Himesh Reshammiya.

This character will be completely different, far more sensuous and glamorous, than what she was in Subhash Ghai's Karz, " promises Kaushik.

What about the original Kamini, Simi Garewal's comment that Sushmita Sen and not Urmila was suited to do the remake?

Satish laughs, "Simiji is entitled to her opinion. But Sushmita would've been too imposing and intimidating.We wanted someone who can be a socialite and a dancer, someone to match steps and body language with Himesh."
