Leggy Shilpa Shetty will be seen playing an unusual role opposite Anil Kapoor in director Indra Kumar's Rishtey. The film, being produced under Maruti International banner, has Shilpa playing a typical coastal fisher-woman.
Shilpa would be seen in non-glamorous attire for the film. Even her dialogues have the dialect of a fisher-woman. About her part in the film Shilpa says it is a partly comic role with some melodrama in the end. Rishtey is based on romantic triangle theme and also has lissome Karisma in a parallel role.
