The success of Sooraj Barjatya's movie 'Vivah' has done wonders to the acting career of Amrita Rao .
Not only has the gorgeous actress received compliments from the likes of MF Hussain for her earthy beauty post Vivah , she is also getting more than ever film offers from Bollywood.
The latest one to have come her way is the offer to act in Anil Kapoor's production Shortcut that stars Akshaye Khanna and Arshad Warsi in the lead roles.
Previously, Lara Dutta was offered the role opposite Arshad in the movie. But Lara reportedly had some apprehensions in being cast opposite Arshad. It was then Anil Kapoor reportedly approached Amrita and she agreed to the role.
'Shortcut' will be remake of a Malayalam movie. It will have Akshaye playing a film director and Arshad playing an ambitious, shrewd but talentless actor who wants to be a superstar. The film will go on the floors soon.
Besides this, Amrita is also slated to act in another Rajshree Film. The movie, however, may not be directed by Barjatya.
