Raj Kundra about Shilpa Shetty's reaction:

While chatting with New18, Raj jokingly revealed how he was scared to inform Shilpa about his acting debut, he said, "She (Shilpa) was a few feet away from me when I decided to tell her that I am making a film. I didn’t want to go too close to her.” “I told her that I have a script and was waiting for her answer. When I turned away from her, a flying chappal came at my face. I think she thought that the idea was a little dicey first. Maybe she thought that the film wouldn’t get made,”

He further talked about how he convinced her after a narration by the director Shahnawaz Ali, he said, " “He gave her a very small narration. She thought about it and realised that it wasn’t about the case of against the system in any way. She felt it was a very human story.” ”She was very supportive. She asked me, ‘Tu acting kar lega (will you be able to act)?’ I told her that I will be able to since I have done some method acting by going to jail," 

On October 18, Raj Kundra's debut movie UT69 trailer was released and it is receiving a mix response from the audience. The movie narrates his time in Mumbai's Arthur Road Jail. On 2021, Raj Kundra was arrested in a alleged pornography-related case for which he spend two-months in Jail. He was granted bail in September 2021.
