Sunny Deol and Shilpa Shetty have come together in HIMMAT, INDIAN and APNE. Now the two would have a different role to play in upcoming film THE MAN where Sunny Deol would be directing Shilpa Shetty. Neeraj Pathak is Sunny's co-director of THE MAN.

Confirms Dale Bhagwagar, publicist of Shilpa Shetty, "Yes, Shilpa has indeed signed the film and this is going to be her first Bollywood film after her BIG BROTHER success. She was waiting for a good project to face the camera again for a film and THE MAN seems to be just the right script."

He continues, "After acting with him in three films, it would be a unique and exciting experience for Shilpa to be directed by the man. While she is busy with her worldwide tour of MISS BOLLYWOOD that takes her through UK, Germany, Belgium and Hungary, she can't wait to face the camera again for a film."
