Bollywood A-lister Ranveer Singh’s star-studded next film with director Aditya Dhar is reportedly having young actor Sara Arjun on board as the former’s romantic lead. As reported by an Indian media outlet, Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar’s maiden collaboration ‘Dhurandhar’, boasting an ensemble cast, with the likes of Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan and Sanjay Dutt, has locked in a young female actor, to be paired opposite the ‘Padmaavat’ actor.
Reportedly, child actor Sara Arjun, 19, best known for playing the younger of Aishwarya Rai’s character Nandini, in Mani Ratnam’s Tamil epic ‘ Ponniyin Selvan’, has been roped in as the female lead opposite Singh. Arjun’s casting opposite Singh, 39, has raised several eyebrows and sparked discussion on social media around the age gap of the possible on-screen couple.
