Shilpa Shetty set to steal hearts with METRO

  • IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,September 26 2006]

No wonder they say that Mumbai is a city that never sleeps. With shooting running late into the wee hours of the morning, Metro seems to taking a grim turn.

If Sharman’s happy-go-lucky character did lighten up the mood, the last few days of shooting were full of sensuality and sexual undertones. Anurag Basu’s signature touch is beginning to show in every frame. Bobby Singh’s dramatic lighting is bringing the emotions alive… The duo had put the screen on fire in Gangster. Redefining the genre of love stories in Bollywood. But what is that makes Metro so special?

Toggling between sensuality to romance to infidelity to ambition to hatred… a range of emotions that will mesmerize the audience in the halls.

Last week Sharman and Kangna rocked the sets with some great performances… this week Shilpa Shetty and Shiney Ahuja’s duo was back to release the tension and bring back some sensuous moments. A tiny Chinese restaurant, a run down apartment and 2 great actors. The perfect makings of a great romantic rendezvous. Shilpa proved again that she could scorch the screen better than most young actors…

Neeta Lulla strikes again. With her pastels, light embroidery, delicate block prints… the ensemble to accentuate Shilpa’s perfect 10 figure. After a short break the crew was back with the pair… and energies were high. But it just took one look at the monitor and there was pin drop silence.

Every breath had stopped. Just thumping hearts. And not a batting eyelid. Shilpa is back to steal hearts. And in a never before portrayal of human emotions.

While the shooting is on, Anurag’s team is off to various corners of Mumbai to hunt for locations. A film with multiple locations, it promises to show a whole new world in Mumbai. No foreign locations. No green landscapes. Just reality.

As it happens outside your door. On the other side of your wall. Around the corner. Somewhere you will see yourself. In the Metro.
