Mumbai: Television serial and film director Vinta Nanda seems to have shot herself in the foot.
Just days after declaring in an interview that she was a big fan of the hit soap Desperate Housewives, Nanda received a letter from the America?s ABC Network, cautioning her to seek permission from the producers of the show before embarking on any sort of remake or adaptation.
"In the quotes that came out it turned out as though I was making Desperate Housewives. I don't mind making it, I love it. If at all it is made in India, I will probably make it best," Nanda said.
Responding to the letter, Nanda has sent a written clarification of her stance to ABC.
But she's still nursing a desire to produce the native version of the soap, now that Star India has acquired the remake rights to the series.
"I have just clarified my stance that I am not going to make it without permission. Star has acquired the rights to the show. I am praying they come to me to produce it because I really want to make it," she said.
Nanda, who moulded the karma of satellite television with the hit soap Tara in the early nineties, ventured into film direction earlier this year with the ill-fated Rahul Bose Koel Purie-starrer White Noise
Desperate Housewives meanwhile, is currently in its second season, and takes a darkly comic look at the lives of a bunch of suburban houswives in America.
