Shobna Gulati to choreograph UK Bollywood film

Coronation Street actress Shobna Gulati, who plays Sunita Alahan, will be shaking and moving in a Bollywood film to be shot here in the UK.

The film is part of the Southbank Centre's Alchemy Festival in London.

Playwright Nikesh Shukla will write the script to the Aneil Karia-directed project. Shobna has signed on to choreograph the film's song and dance sequence.

Festival-goers and participants in free Bollywood dance classes will have the opportunity to appear as extras in the film, starring alongside dancers, actors and musicians from across London.

The Alchemy Festival is scheduled to run from April 12 to April 22.  Find out more about it here.

Meanwhile, back in Weatherfield, Shobna's character Sunita is set to have a fling with Karl Munro.
