Anurag Basu is known for his strong content-driven films in Bollywood. Another thing that he is known for is his pranks. The filmmaker is a famous prankster and he has made Shilpa Shetty the target of his latest stints. The duo is currently judging a dance-based reality show. A source revealed, "During the break when Anurag got the opportunity to take away Shilpa's phone, he texted her sister Shamita from her phone that she is expecting. Shilpa started getting a number of calls from her and congratulatory texts on the news! It took some time for her to convince Shamita that she is not in the family way again and then realised what Anurag had done. She, however, laughed it off, as she is used to her Metro director's pranks. Once he had removed the batteries from Shilpa's mic without her knowledge and during the shoot, her voice couldn't be heard. The shoot had to be stalled to get it fixed."
