suggest that German actress, Franka Potente, will play the main lead in director
Vishal Bharadwaj's next project. Titled
Julia, this drama focuses on the life and times of Australian Mary Ann Evans,
who became the first stuntwoman in the Hindi film industry during the 1930s. Most
notably known as 'Fearless Nadia', Mary Ann made her stunt debut in Lal-e-Yaman

worked for almost 40 years and is best remembered for her standard attire consisting
of tight clothes, tall boots whilst wielding a whip. She was later known as Hunterwali. No
shooting schedule has been planned for Bharadwaj's film which is still in its
script writing stage.
