Shilpa Shetty Makes A Comeback As A Character Actress, And Her Co-Star Is Paresh Rawal

Shilpa Shetty may look  like  a  million  bucks  at  44. But she seems  to have  accepted her  age gracefully and moved on to character roles.

 In  what would in all likelihood be her first full-fledged  screen appearance  since  Apne in  2007(she made  special appearances in Karan Johar’s Dostana and  her own production Dishkiyaoon in 2014) Ms Shetty is back on screen in Priyadarshan’s  Hungama 2.

 Interestingly she is paired  opposite one  of our finest  character actor Paresh Rawal

Confirming the same Priyadarshan spoke  exclusively to ths  writer, “Shilpa Shetty  Kundraconfirmed  this week that she’s doing my  film. She’s playing a pivotal role opposite  PareshRawal. She  will be cast as  one  of  the plot-driving  characters who creates misunderstandings in  the  plot.”

Priyan expresses  surprise at not  having worked with Shilpa  before. “We were  part of the same(Bollywood) fraternity. But we  never got a chance  to work together  until now.It’s  a small  world. No matter how much times passes there is  always a chance to  come together with people whom one  has missed out working with.”

Priyan also looks forward  to working with Amitabh Bachchan soon.
