Shilpa Shetty has almost finished her role in the Kannada film "Auto Shankar", where she plays a finance shark who exploits poor slum-dwellers.

The film, in which she teams with Upendra, is directed by D. Rajendra Babu and is produced by Ramu Films that had a series of hits last year.

Two of the film's songs are to be shot in Austria and Finland.

Two other songs will have music director Guru Kiran and Upendra lending their voices to them.
