We reported a while ago that former Celebrity Big Brother winner Shilpa Shetty was to become a producer, and today we can bring you news about her first project. Being made under the banner of Shilpa Shetty Productions, the inaugural movie will see Shilpa herself in the lead role. However, fellow sex siren Bipasha Basu has also been signed for a main lead. This film will be directed by Manish Jha who was responsible for the critically appreciated Anwar. As with all debutante projects, Shilpa will take the assistance of major studios UTV Motion Pictures who have agreed to co-produce the flick. According to a source, “Shilpa wanted to start her production house for some time now. She has already launched her yoga DVDs under her banner.
She was looking for a suitable script when Manish Jha came up with this suggestion of an action comedy. Shilpa loved it so much that she immediately agreed to do it and even asked UTV to co-produce the film. Bipasha Basu will play a major role in the film along with Shilpa. However the role for the leading man is still under consideration.”“The film will be formally announced next month.
Raj Kundra, Shilpa’s beau, will help her out with the production work and her sister, Shamita Shetty, will be involved in the creative aspects of the production house,” the source added further.
