"Her
role requires lots of dancing and acting," said her spokesperson Dale Bhagwagar.
"From the last couple of months, Shilpa's basic aim is to showcase
Bollywood and Indian culture in the West," he added. "Even
for the musical, her costumes will be designed by popular Indian designer Neeta
Lulla and will represent the ethics and culture of India." Bhagwagar
further informed that renowned Bollywood choreographer Ganesh Hegde would set
the steps for the musical, while Shilpa would focus on her performance, leaving
the singing to professionals. Starting
with shows in the UK for the first three months, the musical could travel to other
parts of the world including America and Australia. "After
Big Brother, Shilpa was constantly under media glare with all her moves being
marked. She was looking at expanding her horizons by going to another level. This
musical gives her a chance to do something she's always wanted," added Bhagwagar.
In the meantime, Bollywood fans can see her in director Anil Sharma's film Apne
(meaning ours), releasing in the UK cinemas on Friday 29 June 2007. She
stars along side Dharmendra, Bobby and Sunny Deol. News
