Shetty was catapulted into the international arena earlier this year due to an
alleged race row on one of the UK's television reality shows. Her
popularity within the UK soared to an all-time high when she was crowned the Big
Brother winner. A
household name and popularity with the media tabloid prompted the distributor
for the film, Metro Life in the City, to release the film with maximum number
of prints.
With Shilpa as the lead actress, multiple premieres were also held alongside the
traditional opening ceremony in Leicester Square - prior to the film's nationwide
release on 11 May 2007. Unfortunately
the tremendous hype generated from the distributor's publicity campaign did not
convince the audience. Metro
- Life in the City debuted at number 16 in the UK charts with unimpressive opening
weekend figures of 拢55,234 on 41 screens. The
figures were surprisingly lower than some of the films released only a few weeks
back, including Shakalaka boom Boom and Nehlla Pe Dehlla.
