Sherlyn Chopra’s production company Emmanuel Productions Pvt Ltd is currently working on a Hindi film project. The story of the film has been conceived by the actress herself, and the screenplay is being worked upon.
She has signed Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy as the music directors and Gulzar as the lyricist. Shooting is likely to commence by February 2012, while the director and the star cast are yet to be finalised.
Says Sherlyn, “As a producer, it is important for me to know the purpose of making a film. If the purpose is to generate revenue, then the story must definitely be entertaining and engaging. It should also have the potential to entertain a larger audience. It is crucial to gauge the pulse of the youth, who comprise around 60 per cent of our population.”
She adds that in her debut film as producer-actor, she’s going to play an interesting role. “I’m going to be portraying the role of Santa... sexy Santa! It is going to be a lighthearted yet emotionally compelling film based on real life events.”
