Shehnaaz Gill roped in by Salman Khan for Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali, to make her Bollywood debut with the film

Salman Khan ’s next Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali is turning out to be quite a starry affair. The film which will be headlined by the actor has now added Bigg Boss 13 fame Shehnaaz Gill to its cast. The movie is touted to go on floors in May.

Kabhi Eid Khabhi Diwali is being directed by Bachchhan Paandey fame Farhad Samji and on Wednesday actor Aayush Sharma had announced through a statement that he will be joining Salman Khan in the film after working together in Antim: The Final Truth . It was last year that several reports had claimed that Aayush had backed out from the project in search of more meaty roles but it seems he had a change of heart.

According to an India Today report, Shehnaaz has been roped in to star opposite Aayush in the film. Further details about Shehnaaz’s role are yet to be revealed but it is certainly a joyous occasion for her fans who have been waiting long for her Bollywood debut.

The news of Shehnaaz’s casting in Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali comes days after she caught up with Salman at Baba Siddique’s iftar party. It was reported that Salman and Shehnaaz chatted for hours at the event and that the star took special care of her that evening.

Aayush will be playing on of Salman’s onscreen brothers while Bigg Boss 13 runner up Asim Riaz and Zaheer Iqbal are also said to be a part of the project. Besides these actors, Pooja Hedge will be seen playing Salman Khan’s love interest in the film.

Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali begins rolling from 9 May. It is expected to arrive in cinemas on Eid 2023.
