Anupam Kher is going to star in a movie called ‘Dear Friend Hitler’ directed by Rakesh Ranjan. It will have Neha Dhupia in the role of Eva Braun, who was the companion and wife of Hitler for a brief period of time. Eva had married Hitler when she was 33 and he was 56. Less than 40 hours later, they committed sucicide in a bunker where she bit a cyanide capsule. Hitler in his last days is believed to have become distraught and heart-broker and Eva was the one who would give him emotional strength.
“The film is going to capture the last days of the most ironic monstrosity of the 20th century” quotes a source from the team that is brainstorming for the project. Imtiaz Ali, the director of Jab We Met is the creative consultant for the film. It is believed that Neha has already begun research for the film and has been watching lots of historic footage and movies on Eva Braun. Neha says “Eva was an attention seeker, had a fetish for fur coats, expensive jewelry and wine.” Good job Neha, hope you play Eva well enough.
