Disha Patani finalised to play the female lead opposite Shahid Kapoor in Yoddha?

Last seen in Kabir Singh, Shahid Kapoor is all set to enthrall us with his upcoming projects. The actor will be next seen in the Hindi remake of hit Telugu film, Jersey, which originally starred Nani. In the film, the actor will be seen playing the role of a cricketer. He has been paired alongside Mrunal Thakur of Super 30. While that film is all ready to release, the actor has apparently signed a new project. Shahid, who worked with Karan Johar on Shaandaar opposite Alia Bhatt, is reportedly set to reunite with the director.

According to a media report, the actor has apparently signed filmmaker Shashank Khaitan’s next, Yoddha, backed by Dharma Productions. As the news of his rumoured new film surfaced online, another media report about Yoddha has hit the internet. And it is regarding the leading lady of the film.

The actress, who has reportedly been finalised for the film, is Disha Patani. A source close to the development told Pinkvilla, “Disha Patani has been signed on for Shashank’s next. It’s titled Yoddha and will have Disha and Shahid romance each other on screen for the first time. In fact, the film is a big actioner being mounted on a lavish scale. Along with Shahid, Disha too will have an action-packed role in the movie, details of which has been tightly kept under wraps for now.”

The source further stated that the team was hunting for an actress, who is great with stunts and actions. And it was only recently when they roped in Disha for the role.

If this news turns out to be true then, it will become Disha’s first film under Karan’s Dharma Productions. Next up, the actress will be seen in Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai, KTina and Ek Villain.
