Abhay Deol, Shruti Haasan To Star In Ashwni Dhir's Next

Abhay Deol, who is known to pick up off-beat subjects for his films, has been signed opposite Shruti Haasan in Ashwni Dhir's upcoming social-political satire.

The yet untitled film will bring together Abhay Deol and Shruti Haasan for the first time on screens. Shot in Chambal Valley the film will also star Sanjay Mishra in a pivotal role. Though the film tackles serious issues and will be quite hard-hitting, it also has equivalent entertainment quotient that will keep the audiences entertained.

Ashwni Dhir, who last directed comedy-action Son of Sardaar staring Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt, will begin shooting the film early next year.

Meanwhile Abhay Deol, who was last seen as a youth political leader in Raanjhanaa, is gearing up for the release of his home production One By Two, which is scheduled to release on February 7, 2014.
