Kerala, India, Apr 5, 2006 / 12:00 am (CNA).- An Indian movie director said he hopes to persuade Paris Hilton to play the role of Mother Teresa in an upcoming film.

Director T. Rajeevnath told AFP that Hilton made a casting shortlist after a computer-generated image showed a close facial match between the hotel heiress and the nun. A meeting with Hilton is scheduled for the end of April, said the 54-year-old director.

Rajeevnath is well known in India for his Malayalam-language films, including award-winning "Janani", the story of seven nuns who care for an abandoned baby.

Hilton's prior movie experience includes a homemade sex video, which appeared on the Internet, and a starring role in the reality TV series “The Simple Life.”

This reminds me of a comic I once saw mocking Holllywood's usual treatment of solemn religious themes. A sultry blond actress spoke of how she portrayed Joan of Arc in an imaginary movie about the saint. The actress gave assurance that the movie was very reverent: "Except for the love scene, a tasteful bathing scene, and when my clothes burn off at the stake, there's no nudity at all." I can picture Paris Hilton in THAT role. But if Paris Hilton does play Mother Teresa, God grant she learns from it.

Playing the role of Mother teresa might change her life for the better,but I am concerned about her acting ability.Can she really show the love and humility that would be necessary?

Hey, maybe this could be a good thing. Sir Alec Guinness and Pietro Sarubbi (from The Passion) benefitted from religious roles. Never know.

Here we go again! I smell an Oscar! This is as brilliant as the plans to cast Jessica Simpson as Pam Anderson in the movie of Bay Watch. I smell an Oscar!
