Chak
De
girl
Shilpa
Shukla
is
all
set
to
enter
the
international
cinema
with
a
film
titled
Extrospection
which
will
be
directed,
written
and
produced
by
Manan
Singh
Kotohora.
It
is
said
that
the
film
is
based
on
Satyajit
Ray's
Charulata
but
set
in
contemporary
times.
The
film
will
be
shot
in
New
York
with
Shilpa
playing
the
lead
role
of
Charu.
With
all
praises
for
Shilpa
Shukla,
Kotohora
said
that
he
was
taken
aback
by
the
actress'
performance
in
Khamosh
Pani
and
Chak
De
India.
Hence,
she
was
his
natural
choice
for
the
film.
Kotohora's
another
project
titled
When
Kiran
Met
Karen,
which
is
based
on
the
issue
of
lesbianism,
is
in
under
post
production.
Extrospection
is
expected
to
go
on
the
floors
this
year.
