Shilpa Shetty on a roll

<div class="section1"><div class="Normal"><script language="javascript">doweshowbellyad=0; </script><br />Shilpa Shetty is in seventh heaven. And, no, she is not feeling any lighter because she has trimmed those long tresses. It is because the actress has just signed Revathi''s film, <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Phir Milenge</span>, opposite Abhishek Bachchan and Salman Khan, and is all excited about the prestigious project.<br /></div> <div align="left" style="position:relative; left: -2"><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" align="left" border="1" width="77.5%"> <colgroup> <col width="100.0%" /> </colgroup> <tr valign="top"> <td width="100.0%" colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="" valign:="" top="" background-color:="" f3f3f3=""> <div class="Normal"><a href="javascript:popUp(&quot1;photopop?msid=273682&type=0&quot1;)"> <img border="0" align="left" src="/cms.dll/thumb?height=307&width=307&photoID=273682" hspace="12"" /></a></div> </td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td width="100.0%" colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="" valign:="" top="" background-color:="" f3f3f3=""> <div class="Normal"><span style="" font-size:="">Click to enlarge</span></div> </td> </tr> </table></div> <div class="Normal">The fact that Shobhana won the National Award for Revathi''s earlier film, <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Mitr</span>, has also excited the leggy lass.<br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">How did you sign </span><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="" font-style:="" italic="">Phir Milenge</span><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">?</span><br /><br />Revathi approached me when I was shooting at Mysore. She narrated the script to me and I liked it very much. That is when I decided I wanted to be a part of the film and signed it. <br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Is the film being pitched as an adult romance? </span><br /><br />No, not at all. I really do not know what genre to put it in, because it is a complete commercial film. But it is devoid of songs and very realistic. That is Revathi''s forte. I trust her sensibilities completely. I think she always projects the heroine well. <br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">You have worked with Amitabh Bachchan, but this is the first time you are working with Abhishek. Are you looking forward to it? </span><br /><br />Definitely. I think Abhishek and I will make a very good pair because, the casting is fresh and also he is very tall! That is a bonus. I have seen his films, and I especially liked him in <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Refugee</span>. I think he is very apt for the role in <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Phir Milenge</span>. <br /><br /></div> </div><div class="section2"><div class="Normal"><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Love triangles have been done to death in Bollywood. What is special about this one? </span><br /><br />I am not allowed to speak about the film. Revathi does not want that right now. So all of us are being very secretive about the story. All I can say is that I would describe it as a very beautiful film. <br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">When will the film release? </span><br /><br />We have already completed a major portion of the film and hope to finish it quickly. If everything goes well, it should release some time in March-April next year. <br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Tell us about your other films.</span><br /><br />I have <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Garv </span>with Salman Khan. Then there is <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Kahin Aag Na Lag Jaye</span> with Partho Ghosh, which has Milind Soman. That has a very different casting. Then there is Deepak Tijori''s film, which is as yet untitled. <br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">There are rumours about you and Salman?</span><br /><br />I have heard about the link-up, too. It is just that I had signed a film with Salman a year ago. It is titled <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Dil Churake Chal Diye</span> and it is complete and waiting for the right release date. Then we signed other films. They have got clubbed together and now we have three films together, when it is actually just one film a year. </div> </div>
