Princess Diana - the movie

The most anticipated film for Diana fans is finally set to release in mid September. The official trailers have been up and are shared endlessly on the internet. The biopic by German film director Oliver Hirschbiegel is about the last 2 years of Princess Diana's life and her relationship with Dr. Hasnat Khan and Dodi Fayed.
Dr. Hasnat & Princess Diana


Naomi Watts, playing the late princess looks convincing while Naveen Andrews (Lost fame) playing Dr. Hasnat Khan the Pakistani heart surgeon is a bit dubious. Although it is too soon to draw conclusions, the movie is surely going to cause controversy and a lot of questions will be raised on credibility of the plot. It was widely believed by Diana's close friends that Dr. Hasnat was her only true love and she wanted to get married and settle down with him in Pakistan. The doctor's family did not approve of his relationship with the Princess and as a result he walked out of it. Dodi Fayed came into Diana's life as a friend with whom she began a relationship to make Dr. Hasnat jealous and so the story continues.

Dr. Hasnat has already expressed his disapproval and says that he will not watch it since it is based on lies. The film is based on the 2001 book Diana: Her Last Love by Kate Snell. While the author and filmmakers have been struggling to get Dr. Hasnat's approval, he has proved to be what Diana always believed him to be. During the summer of 1997 before she died she told a friend, "everybody sells me out but Hasnat is the one person who will never sell me out."


Princess Diana is undoubtedly the most admired royal celebrities around the globe. The part of her life which has largely been a secret is now being made into a movie and the Pakistani connection in the story is surely going to make it a sizzler in our part of the world. No matter how controversial it turns out to be, we are in deep anticipation!
