Shillpi Sharma, who was last seen in Abbas Mustan's 'Thank You', has been signed for Madhur Bhandarkar's 'Heroine' co-starring lead actress Kareena Kapoor and Shahana Goswami.  Shillpi, who has already shot a couple of scenes for the film, says, "Madhur who's a family friend, approached me for the role. He was looking out for someone glamorous and was of the opinion that I was perfect."

When quizzed about her role, the actor adds, "I cannot reveal much as I'm bound by a contract but I have a pivotal role in the film." Shillpi, who has been hitting the gym regularly to get fitter for the character, reveals, "Madhur wanted me to lose weight and look fit. So I have been training accordingly." Best of luck Shillpi.
