I don't like simple girls, says Ramu

New Delhi: Director Ram Gopal Varma says he wants his heroines to be sensual.

"I don't like simple girls anymore. My perception about a woman has changed over the years — she has to be sensual and have the oomph factor" a national daily quoted Varma as saying.

His forthcoming film Nishabd features superstar Amitabh Bachchan and 19-year-old debutante Jiah Khan.

The film, which is being readied for a release later this year, has Bachchan plays an aging romantic who falls in love with a young woman.

"Nishabd revolves around the fact that while the body aches, feelings don't. The film is strong on physicality, but that is needed to bring out the contrast between desires and reality," he was quoted as saying.

Varma recently admitted that Nishabd is inspired by author Vladimir Nabokov's famous novel Lolita but that his characters are driven by love and not sexual obsession.
