Shilpa Shetty's musical to premiere in Berlin


MUMBAI (Reuters) - Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty' s musical "Miss Bollywood" is set to premiere in Berlin, her publicist Dale Bhagwagar said.

"The show has been designed to familiarize the West about Bollywood and Indian culture," Bhagwagar told Reuters.

"The premiere is set to happen sometime by the end of this month or beginning October."

Shetty, who recently hit international headlines for enduring racist abuse on the celebrity version of the Big Brother television show in Britain, has been rehearsing for two months for the elaborate song-and-dance show whose theme would be along the lines of "Moulin Rouge," he added.

The actress would start with shows in Berlin and would then travel to Britain and later to the United States and Australia.
