"I am ready to give an eye to play Anarkali of Mughal-e-Azam. I am aware that legendary actor Madhubala has immortalised the role in the film. But it's my dream to portray the character if given a chance in future," she told IANS at the launch of a bridal wear designer boutique 'Threads' in Kolkata on Monday.

Bhagat, who was crowned Miss India in 2004, has also acted in two Hindi films - Halla Bol and Good Luck. Apart from that she has also featured in a film each in Telugu and Tamil.

"My next release is going to be Subhash Ghai's comedy Paying Guest and Wilson Louis' horror film Shout. I have also signed Kirkit. It is about commercialisation of cricket," she said.

Paying Guest will release in January next year, while Shout is expected to hit the theatres in March.
