From a female "Gabbar Singh" to a doctor to an anti-terror agent, Shilpa Shetty plays them all in her three new films releasing next month. Shilpa stars in two Hindi films - "Fareb" and "Dus" - and her third is a Kannada movie, "Auto Shankar", with well-known southern actor Upendra. "Yes, it's a very weird title, but it's a unique movie. I play a really negative character in this. It is my ode to Gabbar Singh! This character is a menace to society. She is supposed to be a devastatingly beautiful woman who is also supposed to be quite devastating for men. Here I play one of the most negative characters so far in my film career", she says.
Talking about "Fareb", Shilpa plays a doctor, Neha, who is also a doting wife. She loves her family immensely and is depicted as an extremely strong character who is always in control. She says: "The film is essentially a thriller amalgamated with a love story. But it deals a lot with relationships as well. Then suddenly her life changes one fine day and after that it's a roller coaster ride." Manoj Bajpai essays the role of her husband. Shamita, Shilpa's younger sister, who also stars in the movie, plays the owner of an ad agency and a business tycoon's wife.
Moving on to her other release "Dus", Shilpa says: "It is completely different from 'Fareb'. In fact I shot for both the movies simultaneously, but I sport very different looks in each. I play the role of an anti-terrorist agent. It's a very new concept; and considering that the movie is a multi-starrer, I feel very proud to be in it and doing something at the same time too. As most muti-starrers go, women have hardly anything to do in it, but here I thankfully hold my own with the male actors".
