Dishkiyaaoon, which is set in the backdrop of Mumbai underworld. Shilpa has donned producer's hat for the film, which stars
Sunny Deol,
Harman Baweja and debutante Ayesha Khanna.
“It is a full-on masala entertainer. It is an interesting film on underworld, imagine Shilpa Shetty making a film on Mumbai underworld, it sounds bizarre. But I loved the script.
