Cate Blanchett movie canned

Beset by problems from the start, Indian Summer – a film that was to star Cate Blanchett – has been cancelled.

The opposition of the Indian Government and financial problems were cited as reasons the project was stymied.

The movie, by Atonement director Joe Wright, was set to mine the alleged relationship of Lady Edwina Mountbatten [Blanchett] with Jawaharlal Nehru, the nation's prime minister.

Wright said: "We were in between a rock and a hard place. The Indian Government wanted us to make less of the love story, while the studio wanted us to make more of the love story."

The Indian Government allegedly went before a committee of senior officials, who reportedly insisted on the removal of love scenes.

Blanchett, 40, recently filmed Robin Hood in the UK with Russell Crowe, and is currently performing in A Streetcar Named Desire on stage in Sydney.
