Mumbai, Jul 15 (PTI) Joining the likes of Aamir Khan and Shahrukh Khan, Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty has also turned producer "to make good commercial cinema with stories which she would aspire to watch". "It is wrong to say that I am launching my home production because my career is going nowhere. I may not fit into any of the characters of the two films I plan to produce every year," Shilpa told PTI here yesterday.

However, Shilpa said her experience as an actress will come handy to make her home banner, an established one in the industry.

"If you have planned your moves, nothing is difficult. I have to live up to my own expectations," she added.

The actress said her first film, an action comedy, under banner S2 Global productions to be directed by Manish Jha, was in advanced stage of scripting and will be launched later this year.

Shilpa said she had not planned to further her career in Britain after "Big Brother" win. "I had never thought I would win," she added.

"I was offered to host TV shows, films and serials in UK. Despite that I could not devote my full time there because of my commitments in Bollywood. But, the media wrote that no good offers were coming my way," Shilpa quipped.

However, when it comes to acting, she prefers to work in India and live like a first class citizen rather than struggling overseas.
