Alba has been approached to play the character of slain tourist Scarlett Keeling in the film that is based on the sensational murder of the British teenager that attracted global media attention last year.

Karthik, the Chief Marketing Officer for Ochre Films, confirmed the news saying that Jessica has been sent the script. “We were looking for someone to play Scarlett and Jessica’s name was thrown up. We have sent word across to her and hope for a positive reply,” said Karthik.
Goa will be directed by Tamil film industry’s upcoming star director Venkat Prabhu who has given such hits like Chennai 600028 and Saroja.

There are two more female leads in the movie and talks are on with actresses Sneha and Genelia for the same. Jessica, who has played an array of roles from a humanoid in the TV series Dark Angel to a choreographer in Honey and a superhero in the successful franchise of Fantastic Four, is currently on a short break after giving birth last year.
Alba’s last work was comedy film The Love Guru where she was paired opposite Mike Myers.
