Shilpa Shetty has said her son Viaan Raj Kundra, who is a huge fan of Rohit Shetty, convinced her to star in Indian Police Force.
Shilpa Shetty, who was last seen in Nikamma, is all set to make her debut in Rohit Shetty’s cop universe with Indian Police Force. Meanwhile, the actress recently revealed that it was her son Viaan Kundra who convinced her to join the project and that he is the only reason she is doing the film. In an interview with the Press Trust of India, Shilpa said her son Viaan Raj is a huge a fan of Rohit’s films and the ten-year-old was more excited about the show, than her. “I told my son that Rohit Shetty has offered me a role and he jumped and he said, ‘mumma you have to do it for me‘. When I saw the excitement on his face, I was so happy. He is such a big fan of Rohit. I always tell Rohit this is something I did for him (my son).”
The actress also recalled that when she was told that Rohit Shetty wants to cast her in his next project, she thought that someone was pulling a prank on her. Shilpa said, “It first came via someone that Rohit is trying to get in touch with me and wants me to play a part in his project. I thought they were joking. When he spoke to me, I said let me think about it and it was a yes.”
