Athiya Shetty To Play The Lead In Sanjay Dutt’s Next?
Ever since Sanjay Dutt was released after serving his sentence, the speculations for his next film have been rife. After a lot of rumors, it was revealed that Sanjay will make his comeback with Siddharth Anand’s film which has been tentatively titled ‘Badlaa’. The director has been on the lookout for the female lead, who will not play Sanjay’s romantic interest, but play the role of a runway daughter. Names of many actresses ranging from Shraddha Kapoor to Kriti Sanon cropped up, however, according to a report by DNA, Athiya Shetty might just be the final choice. The report states “Dutt and Athiya’s dad Sunil are very close, and it is but natural that Sanju would want her to play the female protagonist. She is Dutt’s recommendation. Both the actresses fit the bill for this hardcore action film, but Sanju is very keen to have Athiya on board, as is she.” Well Athiya and Sanjay Dutt, that sure sounds interesting.
Salman gave Athiya Shetty guidelines to succeed
Superstar Salman Khan, who is launching Athiya Shetty in his home production "Hero", prepared her for the challenge by giving her three important rules to succeed in the film industry. "Salman sir has always told me three things: Be humble. Hard work is extremely important. That's what takes you forward in life. People want to work with you because you're hardworking. And never forget the people who brought you to the top, because that's the most important," Athiya said in an interview. Considering Athiya's young age of 22 years, one would also expect father Sunil Shetty to give her lectures on how to do well in life. "Papa is not the preachy type who would tell me how to act or how not to act. Salman sir is also not that type of person. They've always told me about life and about the industry, how to conduct myself and how to interact with people," she said. Sunil, who himself has seen his share of ups and downs, has told Athiya about the inconsistencies in the industry. "Papa is always the reminder in my life. He has told me, with success there is failure. No matter what, there are both ups and downs in life. And you have to handle yourself with respect, humility and an equal amount of grace." Athiya is paired opposite Sooraj Pancholi in the film directed by Nikhil Advani which releases on September 11.
