18th Oct 2008 19.39 IST

Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty is reportedly set to play the role of an Odissi dancer.

The movie, still in planning stages, is said to be based on the life of the late danseuse Protima Bedi.

Wife of actor Kabir Bedi , Protima was a model and an Odissi danseuse who died prematurely at the age of 40. She lived life on her own terms.

According to the buzz, the movie will be directed by Malayalam director Sarath Kumar. It will be in English language and shot in Kerala, Bangalore and Protima’s dance academy Nrityagram near Bangalore. A few portions would also be shot in Kuala Lumpur.

Shilpa has reportedly been chosen for the role because of her facial resemblance to Protima. The actress will have to learn the fine points of Odissi before facing the camera.

The shooting is likely to begin by the end of this year.
