Shilpa Shirodkar.
A shocking rumor stirred Bollywood during the shooting of the action film ‘Raghuveer’ released in 1995. The news spread about the film’s lead actress Shilpa Shirodkar that she had been shot and killed. At that time the film was shot in Kullu-Manali, where Shilpa Shirodkar was doing action scenes with Sunil Shetty. Today 30 years have passed for this incident and now after years the actress talked about this rumor and told what was the reaction of her and her family years ago. The actress, who has been away from films for a long time, made a comeback from Bigg Boss and now she is talking on these old issues.
Rumor was flown between shooting
Shilpa herself revealed that this rumor caused panic in Shilpa’s family. Recently, in an interview to Pinkvilla, Shilpa recalled the incident and said, ‘I was in Manali and my father was constantly calling in the hotel because then there were no mobiles. I was shooting there with Sunil Shetty. People who came to see the shooting there were also confused whether they were Shilpa or not, because everyone had heard the news of his death. When I returned to the room, there were about 20-25 missed calls. My parents were worried, there were headlines in the newspaper that Shilpa Shirodkar was shot and killed.
This was Shilpa’s reaction
Later, Shilpa came to know that this rumor was deliberately spread, that too for the promotion of the film! He said, ‘The makers later said that it was a marketing strategy. I was a little shock and thought that it is a little more. At that time there was no professional method of PR or promotion. I also came to know in the last. During that time people did not take permission. I did not get angry when the film became a hit.
Return in films
Now after many years, Shilpa Shirodkar is once again returning to the silver screen with the film Jatadhara. It is an all-India supernatural thriller, whose story revolves around the mysterious Padmanabhaswamy temple and the ancient disciplines hidden there. Sudhir Babu is playing the lead role in the film and he is taking intensive physical training for this role. At the same time, Sonakshi Sinha is making her debut in Telugu-Hindi bilingual films with this project and will share the screen with Shilpa Shirodkar for the first time. ‘Jatadhara’ is also special for Shilpa, as it is a symbol of return to films after her ‘Bigg Boss 18’. The film is a combination of mystery, thrill and mythological elements, bringing a unique experience for the audience.
