Franka Potente in Run Lola Run

India, meet Franka Potente.

Yup, she's the German Bourne star who starred in Tom Tykwer's seminal, trippy 1998 sensation, Run Lola Run.

A widely acclaimed German actress, Potente hit stardom with Lola, and went on to do major films like Blow, opposite Johnny Depp and the Bourne trilogy, opposite Matt Damon.

Now, Franka is tipped to be playing the lead in Julia, Vishal Bhardwaj's upcoming project -- reportedly a biopic based on the life and times of Hunterwali star Fearless Nadia, India's first stunt-heroine.

Julia, set to go on the floors soon, is tipped to reunite Vishal with his Omkara cast of Ajay Devgan and Saif Ali Khan.

If all is confirmed soon, it should be quite a ride.
