YRF plans to cast Vaani Kapoor opposite Ranbir Kapoor in Shamshera

Looks like Vaani Kapoor has become a Yash Raj Films' favourite. At least, the way she is being considered for every second film of the banner suggests so. We all know that YRF is known for signing a three-film deal with every new face it launches into movies.

YRF find Vaani has already done two films with the premier production house - Maneesh Sharma's Shuddh Desi Romance and Aditya Chopra’s Befikre. The third film that the actress is doing with YRF still remains to be untitled, but it stars Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff as male leads.


The latest we hear that Kapoor is being considered for another film with Yash Raj Films. The movie in question is Karan Malhotra's upcoming directorial Shamshera, which was announced with much fanfare lately. The movie features Ranbir Kapoor and superstar Sanjay Dutt in lead roles.

Speculations are rife that Vaani Kapoor, who was last seen in Befikre alongside Ranveer Singh, may be seen as the female lead in Shamshera opposite Ranbir. An official confirmation is expected to come out soon.
