"Celebrity Big Brother" reality show winner bollywood
beauty Shilpa Shetty is ready to become a producer with her upcoming
untitled film that will go on the floor in November. Matrubhoomi’s
director Manish Jha has signed as a director for her first home
production."The untitled project is in its initial stages.
It will have two heroes and two heroines. And I will be one of
the heroines. As far as cast and crew go, only Manish and I are
finalised ... the rest are yet to be decided," said Shilpa,
who achieved international fame after winning the British reality
show "Celebrity Big Brother".
The actress, who launched her production house S2 Global Productions
last year, says she is making an appearance in the movie at Jha's
request.
"Manish felt the character suits me well and so I'm a part
of it," Shilpa told to close sources.
Jha had earlier directed Shilpa's yoga DVD, which was shot near
the backwaters of Kerala.
Talking about her future plans, Shilpa said: "I plan to
produce a lot of movies that I may not be a part of. I'm also
planning to re-launch my sister Shamita.
"Shamita will not be part of the first project, but I am
thinking of a film for her too. The second film will be for Shamita."
The actress, who started her stint in Bollywood with "Baazigar"
and gave hits like "Main Khiladi Tu Anari" and "Dhadkan",
has not been seen on the silver screen for quite some time now.
"Now I am concentrating on quality films and have become
choosy about subjects. My last release was 'Life... in a Metro'
and 'Apne' and after that now I am doing 'The Man'," she
explained.
"The Man" is a romantic thriller in which Shilpa plays
an actress. It is Sunny Deol's second directorial venture after
"Dillagi" and also stars Udita Goswami. Sunny himself
plays the main lead.
Shilpa will also be seen in a unique role in Karan Johar's "Dostana".
Besides being busy with films, Shilpa is optimistic about being
part of the Bachchans' 'Unforgettable' world tour. She is set
to present at two special shows in London.
"After a long time, I'm a part of such a big tour. This
is the second time I will be performing with Amitji. It will be
a real pleasure and joy to be part of such a mega tour. It will
be a finale with all the actors on the same stage," she said
eagerly.
"Besides, I am very happy to perform in London - the place
which has given me so much," she added.
