IT'S
OFFICIAL! Planet
Shellywood™ – where dreams come true is launched in India.
The trailer for the new blockbuster has hit the streets of Delhi and if
the traffic jams it created are anything to go by, it's bound for success.
'If
it weren't for Lakshmi, I'd be run off my feet!' Shelly told the Delhi
Times, praising the elephant that carried her two brand new billboards
through the national capitol. 'I
risked my life ducking overhead powerlines, posing for photos and signing
autographs. It
was hard work, but worth it!'
According
to Aadesh Kumar of Ghitorni, Planet
Shellywood™
is bigger than Ben Hur. 'Shelly is
on everyone's lips. We like Bollywood and
Hollywood, but simply love Shellywood! We are
so proud that Shelly visited our village'.
The
Planet
Shellywood™
billboards depict a love-struck Shelly torn between
two boyfriends (arranged marriage and love marriage partners) under the
watchful eye of her family. The artwork was painted in true Bollywood
style by Kumar Studios from photos by the famous Sydney celebrity photographer,
Cath
Barcan, and
renown Indian fashion photographer, Rahul
Dutta.
Dutta, who photographs all the Miss India contestants, says 'Shelly is
not only gorgeous, she's quasi-intellectual'.
'It's
a
dream come true! Nameste!'
Shelly
says.
Innocence™
will bring Planet Shellywood™
to
Melbourne, providing
Lakshmi can squeeze through customs.
