Actress Shilpa Shetty is finalising the nitty-gritty details of her Broadway musical titled, From Bollywood to Hollywood - which will be similar to Moulin Rouge and Andrew Lloyd Weber's Bombay Dreams.  | "Her role requires lots of dancing and acting," says her spokesperson Dale Bhagwagar |
"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.
