MISS Guyana World 2001 Olive Gopaul created a stir, even though acting dead, in theBotanical Gardens Georgetown yesterday.

Miss Gopaul was filming for a part in the romantic comedy `Rainbow Raani’, when passers-by thought she had hung herself and called the Police. In the movie, she plays the role of a young woman who commits suicide after having problems at home. The hanging figure, which created some level of pandemonium, was actually a mannequin. Gopaul is among a list of Guyanese lined up to play a part in the movie which is being produced by former Liberty Cinema boss, Mr. Pradeep Samtani.
