As an actress I've no problem doing nude scenes

Mahesh Bhatt, the doyen of Bollywood cinema in an interview to DNA said that he would not be surprised or offended if the producers of the film The Three Kings – which is based on the love life of Parveen Babi used a bit of poetic license to portray him in the project.

According to the article, Bhatt told DNA that Reynolds (Hollywood director Reynold Baines) hasn't approached him to double check facts about his affair with Parveen. However, he (Mahesh Bhatt) added that he does not have any problem if anyone unearths skeletons from his past.

"I have no greatness that I will lose if they misrepresent me on screen. Every film needs an inspiration. I am fine if this movie is inspired by my relationship with Parveen.

I can't speak for the others though. I don't think the makers are committing any crime if they aren't approaching the others on whose characters the other roles are loosely based on.

Because I am sure the makers will not blatantly name anyone. Even if they do so, I don't have a problem. I won't wake up one morning to drag them to court, " Bhatt said.
