Leading lady of Ajay Devgn's next directorial venture 'Shivaay' revealed!

Mumbai: Ajay Devgn's next directorial venture is the hugely ambitious magnum opus ‘Shivaay’ which is all set to release in January 2016.

Devgn, who is also producing the film, wanted to keep his leading lady under the wraps, and not reveal her identity till later, and despite valiant efforts from production to keep her hidden, the snapparazzi and shutterbugs around the set managed to click the fresh debutante heroine while she was doing a photoshoot for the movie.

The lady in question is none other than the grand-niece of Saira Banu and legendary actor Dilip Kumar, she is the daughter of actress Shaheen (leading actress of the 90's)! Yes, you read it right, Sayesha has been cast as the leading lady opposite Ajay Devgn in his upcoming directorial venture 'Shivaay', which will also see Devgn don the leading actors cap along with being the Director and Producer.

We hear that many actresses from B-Town were eyeing for this very role seeing the scale of the film, but after several round of auditions Sayesha was selected, and when shown to Devgn he zeroed down on her as she fitted the role perfectly.

Well coming from one of India's first superstar families, looks like huge expectations are set with Sayesha who has got herself a dream launch vehicle with Devgn’s ‘Shivaay’.
