Shilpa to be new Bond girl?

Monday, August 13, 2007

Daniel Craig's next on screen love conquest could be non-other than Bollywood beauty Shilpa Shetty.

Shetty, 32, has been described as the 'perfect leading lady' to square up against 007 and it has been reported the Celebrity Big Brother star is about to 'seal the deal'.

Producers of the next flick, Bond 23, are desperately trying to sign her up because she sells out cinemas across Asia.

A source said: 'Shilpa is having secret talks with the top brass who are working on the next movie.'

As far as they are concerned she has it all – she is beautiful, feisty and a great actress. But they also want someone who is a big star prior to the film, which Shilpa is.'

'She has a huge following in Bollywood, as well as a number of fans in the Western world – especially in Britain – so she will be great for box office sales,' the source added.

A spokesman for Shetty said she could not comment on the story today.
