Ashish Chanana is in parleys with with top models and former Miss Worlds to play the Bond girls for the film. Asian martial arts directors from Hong Kong and special effects and CG experts from Hollywood Studio PDI – San Francisco (the same animation company which worked for Steven Spielberg and created "Antz" along with many other international projects) are being negotiated to give this film the required thrill and gloss.
