Shilpa Shukla made her debut with the film Chak De! India.
Mumbai:
Director Ajay Bahl has revealed that actress Shilpa Shukla was always the first choice for his movie B A Pass, but he wasn't sure if she would accept the role after a successful debut in Chak De! India.
Bahl, thus, approached actress Richa Chadda for the role before eventually signing Shilpa for the movie.
"I always had Shilpa in my mind, but she was established by then. Before approaching Shilpa, I approached Richa as she was raw," said Bahl.
"At the same time, Richa was offered Gangs Of Wasseypur and she told me about it. I asked her to go ahead with Gangs Of Wasseypur, as it was a huge break for her. Then things fell in place and I approached Shilpa," he added.
Not many know that Shilpa was also appproached for Gangs Of Wasseypur, but she chose to sign B A Pass instead.
"I was offered Gangs Of Wasseypur, but I was not prepared at that point of time. Then eventually I did B A Pass and Richa did Gangs Of Wasseypur," she said.
Shilpa has shot several bold scenes for the movie, and admits, "I can't limit myself as an actress".
"I liked the script and I was convinced and took the challenge of this character which is completely different from me," she added.
B A Pass is an erotic human drama, also featuring Shadab Kamal in the lead.
It hits the screens on July 12.
