Shilpa Shetty did films for goodwill
We have heard almost every 90s actor say that they have accepted parts such for goodwill. Shilpa Shetty is not an exception to this. Shilpa Shetty further said, "Also, you have a certain goodwill in the industry. I have done films for makers and was judged for playing those parts. It just undermines my talent. Ealier I never looked at the meatiness of a role, but today my perspective has changed."
Talking about her 2.0 version, Shilpa adds, "Back in the day makers shied away from giving me stronger roles, but I always delivered what they gave me. Now I feel it is a 2.0 version of Shilpa Shetty and you will see a little more thought being put in with choosing a character or the work I want to do."
Shilpa will be seen as the first female cop in Rohit Shetty's Cop-verse. Indian Police Force releases on Amazon Prime on 19th January. This is the actress' first ever project with the Singham maker.
