Shetty sisters argue over casting for their first production

Shilpa Shetty is planning to produce an action film with a female protagonist. Sheu00a0 approached Bipasha Basu for the same, who begged off citing date problems. Shetty then, decided to shelve the project as she felt that the role was tailor- made for Basu, and she didn't want to compromise.

However, her younger sisteru00a0 Shamita, who's in charge of the creative side of the production house feels that they should make the film with another actress.



Keep it alive

A source reveals, "Shilpa and Shamita have two very different mindsets and they often have creative differences. Shilpa was quite excited about Bipasha in the action film but when she couldn't get her dates, she lost interest. However, Shamita was keen on keeping the project alive with another leading lady. The two had an argument over the same."

When contacted Shamita who's busy looking at scripts and ideas for their production house says, "Yes we had approached Bipasha for the film. But things didn't work out. Also Shilpa got busy with her commitments like IPL and her latest restaurant deal."

Poles apart

The younger sister confirms that she and Shilpa are poles apart. "We are bound to have creative differences. It's exciting and challenging to have such conversations and discussion on creative subjects."u00a0 She adds that once Shilpa gets enough time on hand to lock down a script they will be ready to make the announcement.
"Since we both have been actors, we know the kind of scripts that will make good films. At the moment we are open to making anything that's interesting maybe a good comedy or thriller."

However, Shamita is confident that she won't act in any of her productions. "I don't want to act in my film. Not at the moment. I am happy doing the creative work."
