Gerard Depardieu to star in Uzbek film by Karimov's daughter

tGulnara Karimova, the eldest daughter of Uzbekistan's President Islam Karimov who is also known under the name of GooGoosha as a pop star, has released a duet with French actor Gerard Depardieu. Depardieu travelled to Uzbekistan, a secretive, largely Muslim but secular state with a population of around 30 million, earlier this week, said Akbar Khakimov, who co-wrote the script. The duet was recorded when France's best known actor visited Tashkent last week to discuss his role in an Uzbek serial about the origin of the famed Central Asian silk route and set in the 5th-6th centuries in Central Asia. The script of the serial was written jointly by Karimova and Uzbek writer Akbar Khakimov, and Depardieu agreed to play the role of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian in the film, producers said.
