Shilpa Shetty to play the Bond girl

Celebrity Big Brother winner Shilpa Shetty might become the next Bond girl, according to a report published in the British media. However, her agents in Britain (Sterling Media) have refused to comment in this matter. They were asked if Shilpa is being considered for the leading role in the 23rd film in the James Bond series, produced by Eon Productions. British actor Daniel Craig, the current Bond, will film his second Bond movie this year and it will be released towards the end of next year (2008).

Shilpa, who won over the hearts of a majority of Britons by her behavior as a housemate on the Celebrity Big Brother show earlier this year, is negotiating for a role in the Bond film. Bond 23, the working title of the film, has been tentatively scheduled for a worldwide release in 2010, in which Daniel Craig will play the main character and Shilpa Shetty as the leading lady. According to reliable sources, Bond producers are desperate to sign her up with a view to cash her popularity in Asia. So, Shilpa is holding secret talks with the top brass who are working on the next movie.
