I reported that this was a possibility months ago, but it looks like it actually might happen:

House of Wax notwithstanding, The Simple Life star Paris Hilton has yet to make a major impression on the big screen. That may soon change. Film director T. Rajeevnath, who is based in Thiruvananthapuram, India, wants Hilton to play Mother Teresa is a movie biography he is planning about the Nobel laureate who worked among Calcutta's poor with the Missionaries of Charity.

"Her features resemble Mother Teresa," Rajeevnath – whose films include his native country's hits "Moksham," "Janani" and "Thannal" – says of Hilton, according to the French Press Agency. The filmmaker adds, "A meeting with Paris Hilton is scheduled for the end of April."

Rajeevnath says he stumbled upon this casting idea when he saw a computer-generated image showing what he considers a close facial resemblance between the 25-year-old hotel heiress and the Albanian-born nun, who died in 1997. Pope John Paul beatified Mother Teresa in 2003. Indian press reports say shooting in West Bengal and several foreign countries is scheduled to begin in early 2007, and casting is expected to be rounded out by Kamal Haasan in the role of a priest and Mithun Chakraborty as Communist leader Jyoti Basu.

Does this guy know anything about PH's history? He wants to cast one of the leading symbols of impurity in the world in the role of one of the leading symbols of purity? Is he nuts? OTOH, Jesus would probably laugh.
