Leading doll manufacturer company Barbie has approached Amy Jackson to launch a series of dolls inspired by her. The Miss Teen World competition winner had debuted in Bollywood debut with "Ekk Deewana Tha" opposite Prateik.
"Amy has been a big name in the UK for couple of years. She was modelling before Bollywood happened to her. She has always wanted to act and it was a stroke of luck that she got a break in Bollywood. The company approached her recently, after they saw some pictures of her and thought that she fit the bill," a source close to Amy has been quoted as saying.
The 21-year-old who was once on the verge of winning Miss England in 2010 is reportedly thrilled with the offer.
"Katrina was a very well-known name when the company approached her but expressing interest in Amy was a surprise to us. She is a tall, petite girl with delicate features and they thought she was the right fit for a doll to be designed on her," the source further said.
The company has said that US as well as Indian special edition of the dolls would be launched. The US edition will come first and Indian edition will be launched later.
