Shilpa Shetty got married to the love of her life, Raj Kundra, in 2009. The duo has two adorable kids, Viaan Raj Kundra and Samisha Shetty Kundra. For the unversed, it was in 2021 when Shilpa Shetty's whole world shattered as her darling hubby got involved in an adult film racket case. Raj was arrested, and he had spent 63 days in Arthur Road jail. However, it was being that Raj's Arthur Road jail case would be featured as a film soon, and the businessman would make his acting debut with the same. Amid all these, a new report claiming something different surfaced online.
A recent report by the Hindustan Times claimed that Raj Kundra will not act in his biopic. A source close to the development team for the project revealed that Raj's biopic will show the businessman's 63-day tenure in the Arthur Road Jail. The source added that Raj may make a cameo in the movie, but he will not act in the lead role. The source also mentioned that as Shilpa's hubby doesn't have any acting skills, he would not try his hands in the same. The source can be quoted as saying:

"The project is not based on the controversy or what led to it. The project will trace his time in Arthur Road Jail, and the interactions he had inside the prison, with focus on his takeaway. However, it is untrue that he will star in the film. He might make a special appearance in the film, but will not act as a lead. He knows he doesn’t have the acting skills to pull something off, and will not even try it. These are just mere speculations."
