A source associated with the project says: "Shilpa's character in the film seems to be derived from her real persona. She plays a woman who suddenly shoots to international fame. In a way, the role is very biographical."
Reports also have it that the film's co-director, Neeraj, has decided to use in the movie the real footage of Shilpa's experience in London after she won the Big Brother show last year.
‘The Man' is set to go on the floors in the first quarter of 2008.
