 Shilpa Shetty is quite perturbed that the makers of her 2005 superhit Kannada film Auto Shankar, are releasing a dubbed Hindi version called Shilpa The Big Don without her knowledge.
"She was shocked to see posters and advertisements of the movie published in film trade magazines, as she wasn’t even aware that it had been dubbed," said her publicist Dale Bhagwagar. "What stunned her more was the title. Yes, she does play a lady don in the film. In fact, during the film’s release two years ago, she had even termed her character as an ode to Gabbar Singh. But Shilpa The Big Don seems to be just an amusing attempt to cash in on her Big Brother win," Bhagwagar added.
The film tells the story of an auto rickshaw driver called Shankar, who belongs to the middle class section of society. Shilpa, who plays a money-lender and a lady don, is portrayed as a boorish character. She is unscrupulous in recovering loans given to the poor and designs crude methods to recover money. But in the end, she learns a lesson that reforms her attitude. She makes amends and Shankar embraces her as the two fall in love.
The dubbed version even has two songs devoted to Shilpa. The first one goes, Shilpa Shetty, Shilpa Shetty, Shilpa Shetty Re, The second one goes, Shilpa Shetty Iski Ho Gayee. "Shilpa’s role in the earlier film earned her the name ‘The New Gabbar Singh’ in the South," said Bhagwagar. The movie also sparked off a controversy with regard to a sensuous photograph from it. A Madurai-based lawyer had filed an obscenity case against Shilpa, calling the photo vulgar.
