Our
South
starlets
seem
to
be
going
places.
It
wasn't
long
ago
when
it
was
rumoured
that
Rashmika
Mandanna
has
been
approached
to
play
the
lead
opposite
Shahid
Kapoor
in
the
Hindi
remake
of
Jersey.
Now,
rumour
mills
are
abuzz
that
Arjun
Reddy
star
Shalini
Pandey
might
pair
with
Ranveer
Singh
in
Yash
Raj
Productions'
Jayeshbhai
Jordaar.
Reports
say
that
the
makers
were
quite
impressed
with
Shalini's
work
down
south
and
her
theatre
background,
and
therefore
have
zeroed
down
on
the
actress
to
play
the
lead
role
in
this
Divyang
Thakkar
directorial.
A
source
told
Deccan
Chronicle,
"As
Shalini
started
her
career
as
a
theatre
artist,
she's
been
a
part
of
several
plays
and
drama.
Hence,
the
filmmakers
felt
that
the
actress
had
the
required
imagination
for
the
part."
Produced
by
Aditya
Chopra,
Jayeshbhai
Jordaar
sees
Ranveer
playing
a
Gujarati
businessman.
Earlier,
Ranveer
Singh
was
quoted
as
saying,
"I've
been
immensely
fortunate
to
have
collaborated
with
some
of
the
finest
filmmakers
in
our
country.
It
is
gratifying
that
they
believed
in
my
craft
and
chose
me
to
lead
their
cinematic
vision.
All
that
I
have
achieved
as
an
actor
today
is
due
to
these
titanic
forces
showing
their
faith
in
me.
I'm
glad
that
today
I
find
myself
in
a
position
where
I
can
recognise
exceptional
talent
and
wholeheartedly
back
the
vision
of
a
brilliant
new
writer-director
like
Divyang.
Jayeshbhai
Jordaar
will
be
my
next
release
after
'83."
