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 have been tightly kept under wraps for now. The team was scouting for an actress who is great with stunts and action sequences and they locked Disha very recently. An official announcement will be made soon,” informs the source.
