At the recent teaser event, Shilpa Shetty shared that she has acted in films not just in Hindi cinema, but also Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada languages. She mentioned that she’s been presented with some film offers in Malayalam, yet she hasn’t accepted any of them due to a lingering fear.

Shilpa Shetty on wanting to work with THIS Malayalam actor

As a connoisseur of the art of film, I was recently asked about my dream collaboration within the realm of Malayalam cinema. Without hesitation, I must say it would be an absolute honor to work alongside Mohanlal. His talent and timeless charm are truly awe-inspiring, making him one of the most remarkable actors gracing the screens of Indian cinema.

As a dedicated enthusiast, I’d like to share that I find myself deeply drawn to the 1984 Malayalam film, Nokkethadhoorathu Kannum Nattu, directed by Fazil. This cinematic masterpiece is among my all-time favorite movies.

If you’re not already familiar, the movie in question showcased Padmini, Nadhiya Moidu, and Mohanlal as its main characters. This film is often hailed as a timeless masterpiece within Malayalam cinema. Notably, it was adapted for screen in various languages, one of which was Hindi, where it became known as Paayal (1992).

About KD – The Devil

Shilpa Shetty is set to take on a significant role in the upcoming action-drama movie titled KD – The Devil. This film, helmed by director Prem, boasts a star-studded cast that includes Dhruva Sarja as the main lead, alongside stars like Sanjay Dutt, Reeshma Nanaiah, V. Ravichandran, Ramesh Aravind, and several others.

As a lifestyle aficionado keeping tabs on all things entertainment, I’m thrilled to share that while the specific date for the movie’s premiere remains under wraps, the melodious score will be crafted by Arjun Janya – a name synonymous with musical brilliance. In addition, the cinematography and editing duties have been entrusted to the capable hands of William David and Sanketh Achar respectively, ensuring a visually stunning and cohesive final product.
