The eagerly anticipated film which fol- lows a widower and his young daughter trying to re- build their lives after the death of her mother ret- eams sexy Liv with Ar- mageddon co-star Ben Affleck, an experience both thoroughly enjoyed. And for Liv,the chance to work with a Hollywood film- maker with such respect for the fairer sex was a tonic. She says, ‘‘Kevin is hysteri- cal! He is always making me laugh and is such a great writer. My character is smart, funny, brave and kind. Many times female parts are lacking in depth but I feel Kevin really likes women, is inter- ested in them.’’ CHARLIZE:CHARLIZE: Simple at heart! lamorous movie star Charlize Theron insists she still feels like a farmer Gand wants to own a pig, just like her pal George Clooney. The Ital- ian Job actress grew up in rural South Africa, and still feels like a country girl at heart despite her new lifestyle in Los Angeles. She says, ‘‘I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals. I’ve always felt more comfortable in the country than the city and I try to take it with me wherever I go. Now I’m thinking of buying a pig as a pet.’’ Clooney, who dated Theron, famous- ly owns Max, a Vietnamese pot-bellied pig.

Curious, we ask Khalid what the dashing Arjun Ram- pal is do- ing in this women- dominat- ed film. Our guess is that it is nothing but a guest ap- pearance. But Khalid promptly clarifies, ‘‘Arjun’s role was initially supposed to be just a special appearance. But when he started coming to the sets, Ar- jun added so much of life and energy around us, as well as to his brief role, that I changed my mind. I actually went back to the drawing board and re-sketched and ex- tended the life of his role. Now he has a full-fledged role in the film, and I am glad I made the change.’’
