Tina turns Goddess Shakti - The Times of India

Tina Turner to Play Shakti

Wow. The Times of India is reporting that Tina Turner, yes the rock and roll diva, will be playing the role of Shakti in the next Merchant-Ivory Production--The Goddess.

"I think Ismail (Merchant) chose me because of my shakti within. I'm special in that I've had a long run and I'm still here," said Turner who is India for two weeks for her new role, honing up on classical Hindustani music with Zakir Hussain.
