shilpaIndian film actress and model Shilpa Shetty (born 8, June 1975) who joined the IPL league after her peer Preity Zinta, mow she is set to make a super exclusive music video to promote her cricket team. Shilpa bought stake of Rajasthan Royals. The sizzling music video will get an evocative Rajasthani-folk number entitled ‘Halla Bol’. It is composed by Anand Raj Anand. On the other hand, it will be choreographed by Ken Ghosh. He stopped doing music videos after turning feature filmmaker. “I’m so glad Ken is making an exception for me. We chose Anand Raj Anand because he’s an expert at catchy folk songs. I first worked in a film with his music when he scored for Pardesi Babu. I was simply bowled over by the numbers. Today when I hear the song he has composed for our team I feel deeply enthused,” says Shilpa.

Celebrity Big Brother winner Shilpa’s current beau and co-partner Raj Kundra is too much excited by Anand Raj Anand’s Rajasthani song. To shoot the song featuring Shilpa, apparently he has decided to shell out a mini fortune close to Rs. 1 crore.

For this, she is working on the costumes, accessories everything in advance in order to shoot the video in March. Shilpa hopes she’ll sizzle in the video like never before.

Rajasthan Royals, Indian Premier League champions have sold a percentage share to the former Big Brother winner and Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty.

Shilpa Shetty won Celebrity Big Brother in 2006 and is one of Bollywood’s leading actors. After Preity Zinta, Shah Rukh Khan and Juhi Chawla, Shilpa is the 4th Bollywood name to bond this sports event, the Indian Premier League (IPL) bandwagon, which is now India’s one of the biggest the cash-rich event. Shilpa Shetty and her boyfriend and business partner Raj Kundra bought 12 percent stake in Rajasthan Royals owners Emerging Media group for 75 crores Rupees, which is now the new brand ambassador for defending champions of the Twenty20 tournament. On this Friday’s auction, Shilpa Shetty joins there and bet for buy players for her team. Shilpa said,

“Well I am not going to fool myself into believing I’ve been brought in for my business acumen. The team had it all. They needed the glamour quotient and for that I am here.”

But please, I am not going to be one of the pom-pom girls on the field, if that’s what the spectators expect. I’m certainly not going to be the eye candy of the venture. I completely relate to Rajasthan Royals. My story is similar to the team’s journey to the top. It is an honor to be a part of Rajasthan Royals, she added.

Rajasthan Royals (RR) to come out trumps amidst the odds. In the first event of the IPL, they won the championship when everybody thought they were a hopeless bunch led by an ageing, retired superstar. Nobody has any hope for the team. But after winning the first competition now, just before the second season, amidst the recession gloom, they have managed to pull off the deal that should help them sail through the rough weather. The deal provides evidence the IPL may be weathering the economic slump after Shilpa Shetty and Kundra paid $15.4 million for their stake, which values the Rajasthan franchise at around $140million, a major increase on the $67 million its owners, Emerging Media, paid for it a year ago.
