Shraddha to play Kashmiri girl in upcoming film

Actor Shraddha Kapoor has her plate full with back to back projects. According to Pinkvilla, the star will be essaying a Kashmiri girl in one of her upcoming films. She will be stepping into the role of the courageous Rukhsana Kausar, the lady who killed a Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militant.

While most details regarding the project are being kept under tight wraps, a source claimed, “Makers of the film wanted someone who would look like a 20-year-old onscreen to play Rukhsana. Shraddha undoubtedly will do justice to the role. And hence she has been roped into the movie. Shraddha’s role in the film is completely opposite of what she has portrayed in most of her movies."

Rukhsana became an overnight hero and was praised for her braveness after she killed a LeT terrorist in September 2009. Back then, a group of terrorists barged into Rukhsana’s house but she snatched one of the terrorists’ rifles and shot him dead. She left another terrorist injured.

Meanwhile, Shraddha  recently made a cameo in the Bhediya song Thumkeshvari which took the internet by storm. Next, the actress has two big projects in her pipeline, Stree 2 and Luv Ranjan’s yet-to-be-titled movie along with Ranbir Kapoor.

Besides this, it was recently reported that Disha Patani has been removed from Ektaa Kapoor’s KTina. A report by Bollywood Hungama claimed that after Disha exited the project, Ektaa is now planning to approach Shraddha for the lead role. “Talks with both are on to replace Disha Patani. In light of this change, filming has ground to a halt and will resume once the change in the cast is made,” an insider shared.
