She says, "Me and Brad Pitt? Wish it were true! Where do these stories crop up from? At the moment I am just lying low. Yes, there have been a couple of offers, but only from filmmakers here. I am going to zero in on a script soon. I wish to clarify once again that I have not signed any international venture."
It was said that Shilpa have signed a film opposite Brad Pitt called Babel, which is the story of the trial and tribulations of four strangers in three continents. Besides Pitt, the film supposedly also stars Hollywood actress Cate Blanchett and Gael Garcia Bernal.
Reports also said that director Alejendro Gonzalez of Amores Perros and 21 Grams wanted Shetty to play an Indian woman called Sameera Bakshi and had also spoken to Mahima Chaudhary to play the role of Shilpa's sister Sonia.
