Anusha vs Shilpa!
VJ-turned-actress Anusha Dandekar has been cast alongside Shilpa Shetty in the musical Miss Bollywood. The musical to be staged in London around September will later travel to Broadway.
Script writer-cum-director Mohammed Morani says that he was looking for a girl who looked like an Indian brought up in England. "Anusha fits the role to a T. I have worked with her on shows. She is a thorough professional."
Talking about her role on the show, Anusha says, "I am pretty excited about being a part of this musical.
I have always been a huge fan of musicals and now I get to be in one!" When asked what kind of preparations she is undertaking for her role, she says, "There's lots to be done.
I will be doing lot of script reading, dance rehearsals and making sure everything goes well." Working on her look will be her designer friend Neeta Lulla, "I know her and she's doing the look for us.
I think she's fabulous and am really looking forward to see the kind of ensembles she works out for me." Calling Shilpa a terrific dancer she says, "It'll be great fun dancing with Shilpa. I love the energy she exudes. It's going to be fun."

The musical is about how a minister who is producing shows with Anusha replaces her with Shilpa as he doesn't get right output from her. "The drama begins from there. There's a lot of undercurrent between Anusha and Shilpa in the musical," says Morani.
The ambitious musical will go places. Starting with Germany from September 28, it will travel to UK for a month and then move to Broadway. Rehearsals for the big show will begin from Friday in Yash Raj Studios. Raj Kundra who was earlier linked to Shilpa will present Miss Bollywood.
Besides Miss Bollywood, Moranis are busy scripting and directing a two-hour a show jointly orgamised by Star TV and Indian Express called Star Azadi Express that will be aired on Star TV on August 15. "We have a great line up for the show — Govinda, Riteish Deshmukh, Geeta Basra, Sajid Khan, Sarita Joshi, Eijaz Khan and Anita Hasanandani," says Morani.
