With some renowned international technicians as part of her crew, Shilpa's publicist Dale Bhagwagar comments, "it's going to be a two-heroine project. While Shilpa will be playing one part, she is in the process of signing on another big Bollywood heroine."

After Bollywood films like Phir Milenge, Dus, Apne and Metro, the actress has become extremely choosey with herfilm projects.

While we witnessed a change in Shilpa from actress to a Bollywood diva since her Big Brother success, she has been offered large sums for film projects in the UK as well as in Bollywood.

"It's only natural to be offered a high sum considering the kind of international fame she has received," suggests Bhagwagar.

"Shilpa is choosing only films which will give her complete creative satisfaction."

Two of Shilpa's forthcoming movies will see her in completely different roles.

Sunny Deol's directorial venture The Man, which is being co-directed by Neeraj Pathak, will see Shilpa playing a role very close to her real life Big Brother experience.

In The Man, her character portrays the rise of a simple but dedicated girl to instant global stardom.

Shilpa's next project will be with filmmaker Uru Patel's crossover flick, Hanuman, featuring her as the goddess Sita, with Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves being tipped to play Lord Rama.

Keeping busy as ever, Shilpa recently launched her yoga DVD, directed by Manish Jha known for the critically-acclaimed Bollywood films Matrabhoomi and Anwar.

She is currently shooting in Miami for a special dance number in Karan Johar's film Dostana, being directed by Tarun Mansukhani. Shilpa will only appear in this song and dance number.

Dostana is a love triangle, in which two men, played by Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham will try and win the heart of one lucky lady, a character played by Priyanka Chopra.
