Bollywood filmmakers usually avoid making women-centric films, in fear of delivering a box office turkey. But times have now changed. There is news of not one, but two upcoming films that feature women in major roles. The first is an untitled Shilpa Shetty– Bipasha Basu starrer. While it was kept on hold during the recession, its shooting has supposedly resumed after the two actresses enjoyed themselves on Farah Khan‘s show. It is an action film for which Shilpa and Bipasha are undergoing training. It will be written and directed by Manish Jha (of Matrubhoomi fame).
The second film may be a remake of the popular Kate Hudson-Anne Hathway starrer Bride Wars. The Hindi version will feature Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif. Shristi Behl will direct the film. Katrina has also reportedly bought the rights of a French film, but doesn’t wish to talk about it at present.
