The rise to international fame that Shilpa Shetty went through in 2007 could become the story of a film.
Shilpa has agreed to act in Sunny Deol ’s next film ‘The Man’ which Sunny plans to co-direct with Neeraj Pathak. Though Sunny will play the film’s main protagonist, Shilpa will have a meaty role. She will play an international star.
A source associated with the project says: “Shilpa’s character in the film seems to be derived from her real persona. She plays a woman who suddenly shoots to international fame. In a way, the role is very biographical.”
Reports also have it that the film’s co-director, Neeraj, has decided to use in the movie the real footage of Shilpa’s experience in London after she won the Big Brother show last year.
‘The Man’ is set to go on the floors in the first quarter of 2008.
Besides this film, Shilpa is also slated to work for a UTV project this year.
