Lindsay Lohan starts shooting 'The Shadow Within'

Los Angeles: Actress Lindsay Lohan teased fans with the news of an upcoming movie "The Shadow Within" when she shared a close-up selfie on her Instagram.

"My first day on my new film! Will be sending a sneak peak of my character this week #theshadowwithin," the 29-year-old actress wrote of her latest project while sporting a bright lip and damp hair.

The former Disney star had a series of blockbuster hits in the earliest years of her career including "The Parent Trap", "Freaky Friday" and "Mean Girls".

Her career came to a halt when she experienced a torrid timeline of multiple arrests, went to rehab on numerous occasions throughout the late 2000s and became entrenched in legal conflict over an array of misdemeanors and probation violations.

Her highly anticipated career comeback, the titular role of Elizabeth Taylor in Lifetime's 2012 biopic "Liz & Dick", turned out to be a commercial flop and the actress has not experienced a hit film since.
