Sherlyn Chopra disowns 'Kamasutra 3D', turns director

Actress Sherlyn Chopra says that her film 'Kamasutra 3D' is not her film, and also said that she has turned writer-director with a short film.

Sherlyn was present at the India Mobile Film Festival, where she was asked about her film 'Kamasutra 3D', she said, "That is not mine. All my best wishes to the starcast of the film and the team, but that is not my film."

Numerous pictures of Sherlyn for the film had gone viral in 2012 while the official trailer of the film launched in 2014 also saw her in some steamy scenes.

The film had made news in early 2014 when Sherlyn had filed a case against the director Rupesh Paul for threatening to cancel her dues for the film after she rejected his sexual advances, while Paul filed a defamation case against her. They, however, resolved their differences later on.

It is not clear if the shooting of the film has been completed.

About her upcoming projects, she said, "I have started the shooting of my short film today. I want my short film to release on Independence Day this month. It is going to be my first ever film as a writer, director and actor."

About numerous actresses turning bold nowadays, she said, "I would, of course, want that people should become more bold and more beautiful and more entertaining, motivational and inspirational. The more positive the energy, the better."

She added, "You will see me in a different kind of a bold avatar, a bold avatar who is not afraid of the society's double standards, who has tremendous confidence in herself.

I want that, in the coming years, I get the National Award for best actress and I am taking strong steps for that. I feel that this is a very bold thought."

Sherlyn has previously acted in the Shahid Kapoor-starrer ' Dil Bole Hadippa!' and Akshay Kumar-aDosti: Friends Forever' among others.
