"I am looking for the 'next big thing' - someone who is not only drop-dead gorgeous and a great dancer, but can also essay a nuanced role with aplomb," Pooja said in a statement.
She is said to be on the lookout for a "feisty, sensual yet feminine girl" for the movie, which is slated to go on the floors later this year.
"Cabaret", co-produced by Pooja Bhatt and Amit Kapoor under the banner of Fish Eye Network Pvt. Ltd. and Cynozure Networkz, will be shot in exotic locations in India and abroad. It will be directed by advertising professional Kaustav Narayan Niyogi.
The filmmakers have reportedly met countless actresses for the role, but they are yet to find the right one.
