On July 10th, Shilpa Shetty Kundra marked her presence at the electrifying teaser launch event of KD – The Devil, and recalled the instance she agreed to do the gangster drama. She talked about not intending to do the film initially; however, the film’s sharp plot compelled her to give a nod.
“Initially, I was caught up with other work, and had not intended to do KD – The Devil. I had suffered an injury and was in a wheelchair after shooting for an action sequence for Rohit Shetty’s film. The makers of KD – The Devil were quite clear to cast me for the role; because they were so insistent, my manager suggested me to hear the narration and then decide. I stood up from the wheelchair without realizing that I had suffered a fracture. And I reacted, saying ‘Mujhe ye film karni hai’.”
