Sherlyn Chopra

A report circulating in the newspapers has upset Shahid Kapoor [Images] no end. And it's not even about his ex Kareena Kapoor [Images] and her current beau, Saif Ali Khan [Images].

Apparently, it was reported that Shahid would star opposite Sherlyn Chopra [Images] in an upcoming Yash Raj film. The 27-year-old actor was startled to read the news, as was Bollywood's big banner. The truth? Sherlyn is only making a brief appearance in the film.

"It is just cheap publicity and nothing more than that," says a source close to Shahid.

Apparently, Rani Mukerji [Images] will star opposite Shahid in the film.

Sherlyn has been trying to find her niche in Bollywood for a while, and a role in a Yash Raj film would have been her big break. Unfortunately, her role will be a very short one.
