"Shilpa Shetty was invited to see the musical on Tuesday and she has enjoyed it and its producers have offered her one of the main roles in the musical, but she is yet to decide," her spokesman Farhat Hussain said.
Producers of the show have been holding talks with Shilpa's representatives over a deal for her to play the murderous Roxie Hart, played in recent years by Ashlee Simpson, Denise van Outen and Claire Sweeney. They are desperate to engage her despite the fact that singing is not her forte.
She has been simultaneously having singing lessons with lead singer-song-writer Jamie Peace, a finalist in the prestigious International Song-writing Competition in the United States for his track More Than Enough.
Shilpa, who was here to participate in a Zee Carnival at Olympia, left for Mumbai on Wednesday night and would return here on March 11 to attend the Commonwealth Day. She is also likely to be a guest of honour at the Princess Diana memorial concert this summer.
The Celebrity Big Brother winner will join big names such as Elton John at the star-studded show at Wembley, the Daily Star claimed. Shilpa has apparently been invited to the July 1 concert because Prince William and Harry were impressed with the way she handled herself on the scandal-packed reality TV show.
"William and Harry thought Shilpa was amazing in Celebrity Big Brother and very much hope she will take part on the big day," a source said.
The report further stated that she is also being lined up to become the first ever face on the new Indian version of the fashion magazine, Vogue.
