entered

he

commenced
shooting
for
the
same.
The
Dhadak
actor

it
as,
"This
is
going
to
be
special.
'Shooting'
begins
for
our
#Pippa!
Godspeed."
Shahid
Kapoor
was
all
praise
for
his
younger
sibling's
new
venture
and
commented
on
his
post,
"Ohooooo
looking
good."
While
Katrina
Kaif
wrote,
"So
exciting",
Neha
Dhupia
dropped
a
bunch
of
fire
emojis.

Ishaan's
post.
Talking
about
being
a
part
of
this
film
helmed
by
Raja
Krishna
Menon,
Ishaan
had
earlier
shared,
"
I
am
exhilarated
to
be
a
part
of
a
film
of
such
magnitude
and
importance,
and
getting
a
chance
to
play
the
role
of
the
suave
and
spirited
tank
commander
Captain
Balram
Mehta
is
a
true
privilege.
I'm
honoured
by
the
faith
shown
in
me
by
Ronnie
sir,
Siddharth
sir
and
Raja
sir
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
the
exciting
experience
of
Pippa."
Pippa
is

on
the
book
'The
Burning
Chaffees' penned
