Déjà vu? You could be forgiven for feeling you had read this story before, perhaps because Bollywood-centric journalists at the Times of India linked actress Shilpa Shetty to the 22nd James Bond film earlier in the year - albeit speculatively.

The Daily Mail in the UK has gone one better today by claiming the actress is "set to become a Bond Girl".

Although many fans should be cynical of this type of report, there may be a kernel of truth behind the rumblings. Aishwarya Rai was approached by casting agents for Bond 21 back in 2004 in case a 'female asian lead character' featured in the script. The film would later become known as Casino Royale.

Media Rumour
Shetty is set to become a Bond Girl - reports the Daily Mail. The acting beauty, who became one of reality show Celebrity Big Brother's most talked about housemates when she took part earlier this year, is seen as a perfect leading lady for the current James Bond, Daniel Craig.

But it is the fact that she is massive in Bollywood that is about to seal the deal. Bond producers, who are currently putting their next cast list together for Bond, are desperate to sign her up so that the movie sells massively in Asia.

A movie source revealed: "Shilpa is having secret talks with the top brass who are working on the next movie. As far as they are concerned, she has it all - she is beautiful, fiesty and a great actress.

"But they also want someone who is a big star prior to the film, which Shilpa is.

"She has a huge following in Bollywood as well as a number of fans in the Western world - especially in Britain - so she will be great for the box office sales."

Thanks to `Q` for the alert.


She would be great. :up:
 
Don't believe anything written in British tabloids. Just don't.

For example, The Daily Mail once announced Eric Idle and Pamela Anderson were starring in a Doctor Who movie. On the front page.
 
...Yeah, this is just a rumour. Besides, I doubt there will be any Indian actress playing a Bond girl in any time soon. Richard Gere nealry caused a riot because he kissed said Shilpa Shetty! Imagine if she was playing a Bond girl, havign sex with an unmarried man... If they were British born and British grown woman of Indian origins, maybe it would work. But a Bollywood actress? There's no chance in the near future.
 
Yeah, this could very well be false.
 
No way on Earth will this happen!
 
This is most likely false. And casting a Bond girl that causes riots when she gets kissed by Richard Gere is simply not a good idea.

Indeed.

The biggest joke over here is that chick in the pic aint Shilpa its her younger sister Shamita Shetty

Yeah, I looked them up on IMDB and there is a difference between the two.
 
oh god this would be terrible if true, not to mention she is nowhere near good looking enough to be a bond girl, from what I have seen she can't act for **** either

It's not true at all, so no worries.
 
Would be interesting if true. I don't beleive the Bond series has ever had a South Asian Bond girl as of yet.
 
Maybe in the Bollywood version.

The names Bondul, Jamesh Bondul

Slap me for the racist joke.
 
Oh i hope she aint the bond girl, for the love of god no let it be false
