Bollywood Production house Yash Raj Films has named Aadar Jain (grandson of late actor-filmmaker Raj Kapoor) and Anya Singh as their new actors.
The duo will be introduced by actors Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma in a special event in Mumbai, later on Wednesday. See their pictures here:
Shanoo Sharma, casting director of YRF, which is backing the project, says, “Aditya Chopra always pushes me to go out and find new talent. When casting for this film, we were trying to get girls from Delhi, Chandigarh and other cities. Anya was the result of the hunt to find the next Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma. We wanted someone to come out of nowhere, lead regular lives and conquer the industry. Anya filled that spot for me. She came out of nowhere and landed a three-film deal with YRF.”
Shanoo had first met Anya at a restaurant about two years ago. “A year later, I was sitting at a coffee shop and she walked in after workout to grab a cuppa. We discussed everything she had been up to in the past year. That very day, I sent her to audition for the part and two rounds later, she was selected. She is the kind of girl I would chat with at a pub if I bumped into her.”
