While search for the next 007 girl in "Bond 22" is still on the run, another name has surprisingly popped up to add the long line of actresses speculated to be up for the role, and this time, it turns out to be Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty.

Report coming from Metro UK has informed that the beauty has made her way to get inside track on filling in the part, and even is about to what it refers as 'seal the deal.'

"Shilpa is having secret talks with the top brass who are working on the next movie," a source claimed, adding, "She has a huge following in Bollywood, as well as a number of fans in the Western world - especially in Britain - so she will be great for box office sales."

Amid the hype, Shetty's publicist, however declined to comment on the story. Just stay tuned to AceShowbiz to see how things turn up later.
