Big Brother Shetty Shilpa
According to London-based The Evening Standard, Webber has offered Shilpa a meaty role in the famous musical Bombay Dreams. Shilpa, who became a household name overnight in UK because of the controversies she was involved in in the reality show Big Brother, has also been reported to be offered a role in a TV series How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria? by Webber. The Bollywood actress’ spokesman Max Clifford too has confirmed Webber’s initiative at discussing some offers.
According to Clifford, the 31-year old actress is keen on accepting new challenges of a theater career after having spent 15 years as a Bollywood movie actress.
Shilpa is a highly sought after individual ever since her winning stint at Big Brother. She has been reportedly offered a handsome sum to write her memoirs in the reality show, with special reference to the controversial racist episode where she was badmouthed and insulted. She will also be busy negotiating numerous endorsement deals.
Webber had earlier approached Norah Jones to play the lead role. But, owing to her busy recording and shooting schedules, she turned down the offer. The role that Shilpa has been offered will depend on her singing skills.
