Shakti Kapoor’s daughter to debut with Big B

Much like Karisma, Kareena, Esha, Soha and Sonam, another star daughter is set to turn actress. Only this time around it’s the daughter of a B-Town bad guy.

Silver screen baddie Shakti Kapoor’s daughter, Shradha is making her acting debut in Leena Yadav’s ‘Teen Patti’ opposite Amitabh Bachchan and R Madhavan.

‘Teen Patti’ is based on a true story about some students who mastered the art of card counting and made a killing at the casinos of Las Vegas. The film, which is scheduled for a release in June or July this year also features Pierce Brosnon in a cameo.

The 21 year old Shradha has reportedly inherited her looks from her mother, Shivangi and aunt Padmini Kolhapure. She has done her homework as well as she’s been associated with theatre for a while..

According to sources, Shradha won’t be romantically paired opposite anyone in the movie. The unit will be soon travelling to Boston to wrap up the shooting for the movie.

All that’s good, as long as the bad name that her father got in the industry doesn’t come between her hopes and ambitions in any way.

Kylie Minogue isn’t here to do an item song

Move over, Lara and Katrina. Kylie Minogue who arrives tonight is here.Contrary to belief, Kylie isn’t here to only shake a leg to her own song for debutant director Anthony d’Souza’s Blue. She has a full-fledged starring role in the film.

Says the director, “At a particular juncture in the story we needed a woman with a particular personality and appearance who could act sing and dance. Kylie fitted the bill.

She isn’t here to do an item song and go back. Kylie plays a pivotal part. She contributes considerably to taking the story forward. Over a period of eight days I’m shooting all of Kylie’s scenes.”
