It’s Kriti Sanon opposite Tiger Shroff in Ganapath

Tiger Shroff has revealed that Kriti Sanon will be his leading lady in the upcoming action flick Ganapath, to be directed by Vikas Bahl.

For those who came in late, Sanon had played Shroff's love interest seven years ago in Heropanti (2014), which was the launch vehicle for both artistes.

Shroff made the announcement through a stylish motion poster of the film featuring Sanon on a bike. Yesterday, Shroff had dropped a hint about his co-star in the film, sparking speculation on who she might be.

Some reports had suggested that Sara Ali Khan could be the one, but they have now proved wrong.

Speaking about her casting in the film, Sanon said in a statement, “I am thrilled to reunite with Tiger after about seven years and also to be directed by Vikas in a space that is so new to me. I have been wanting to explore the genre of action for a while now and am super excited to do so on such a massive scale with Pooja Entertainment! Jackky is a very passionate producer and I’m glad to be starting my journey with them with such a cool character.”

Explaining the choice of leading lady, Bahl said, “Kriti not only has a riveting screen presence but she also has the persona of a superstar. She is truly ‘The Right One’ to star opposite Tiger as I am confident she will make a perfect action heroine. I am extremely excited and looking forward to working with the two wonderful artistes.”

Shooting for Ganapath is expected to begin soon. The film is slated to be released in 2022.
