RAJ KUNDRA ON SHILPA SHETTY’S REACTION TO ‘UT69’
Raj Kundra will be seen in the upcoming film ‘UT69’. The movie traces the businessman’s journey in a prison where he spent nearly two months in 2021.
At the trailer launch of ‘UT69’, Raj, while speaking to News18, opened about Shilpa’s reaction to his acting debut. He said, “She was a few feet away from me when I decided to tell her that I am making a film. I didn’t want to go too close to her (laughs).”
He further said that her reaction was not too pleasant. “I told her that I have a script and was waiting for her answer. When I turned away from her, a flying chappal came at my face. I think she thought that the idea was a little dicey first. Maybe she thought that the film wouldn’t get made”, he revealed.
RAJ KUNDRA ON HOW SHILPA CHANGED HER MIND
Raj then explained how Shilpa was convinced about the film. He said, “Then I told Shahnawaz (Ali, director) to go and explain it to her. He gave her a very small narration. She thought about it and realised that it wasn’t about the case of against the system in any way. She felt it was a very human story.”
“She was very supportive. She asked me, ‘Tu acting kar lega (will you be able to act)?’ I told her that I will be able to since I have done some method acting by going to jail,” said the businessman. He also shared that she was very proud of him.
