Shilpa commands a crore!

Shilpa claims title of highest paid ...after being offered Rs 5.25 crore for an international film.

While Kareena Kapoor is reportedly being offered Rs 3.5 crore for her new movies after Jab We Met, and Aishwarya Rai is said to have received Rs 4 crore for her proposed stint as Rajinikanth’s leading lady in Shankar’s Robot, the big surprise is Brand Shilpa Shetty who has superseded them. Sources say the actress who never made her mark in Bollywood, has been offered a whopping Rs 5.25 crores by an American NRI producer for an international film to go on floors in mid-2008.

Shilpa, who only responded by saying, “I get what I deserve”, has been offered astronomical amounts by all kinds of filmmakers from all over the world, including Bollywood. But she is still after hard-hitting roles which can satisfy the actress in her. After Phir Milenge, Dus, Apne and Metro, Shilpa has become extremely choosy. She has agreed to only two films since then. Sunny Deol’s The Man, in which she will play a role very close to her real life experience last year, and Uru Patel’s international flick Hanuman, featuring her in the role of Goddess Sita, with Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves being tipped to play Lord Ram.
