Tiger Shroff to be cast as Shiva in Karan Johar's Immortals of Meluha?

The fresh face in Bollywood, Tiger Shroff, is one of the most talked about Bollywood celebrities these days. Even before the release of his first film, Heropanti, the actor seems not to be stopping from getting roped in for consecutive big-budget films. If the latest reports are to be believed, Tiger has been selected as Shiva for Dharma Productions’ next project, an adaptation of Amish Tripathi’s The Immortals of Meluha.

Karan Johar has been thinking about this project since quite some time now. Now the latest buzz has revealed that Tiger is being seen as the prospective replacement of Hrithik Roshan in the film. Hrithik was Karan’s first choice for the film but due to the Bollywood Greek God’s health woes he has opted out of the film. Another Bollywood heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor was also in the consideration list for the role but later the actor denied the same. The search for the female lead is still on and Vidya Balan is said to be the frontrunner. After Karan’s Shuddhi is released, The Immortals of Meluha is expected to go on the floors. If this deal comes out final between Tiger and Dharma Productions, this will be considered as a sixer scored by the Heropanti debutant who is yet to show his acting talent and mass appeal.
