Hyderabad:Actor Shraddha Kapoor has come on board to star in the upcoming romantic-comedy Chaalbaaz In London, to be directed by Pankaj Parashar, who helmed the 1989 Sridevi classic Chaalbaaz.
The film is a joint production between Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar's T- Series and director Ahmed Khan and Shaira Khan's Paper Doll Entertainment.
Kapoor said she is thrilled to take on the challenge of essaying a double role-- her career first.
"Although there's a huge responsibility on me, I'm happy that Bhushan sir and Ahmed sir feel that I will be able to pull it off. Also, it's a great opportunity and a learning experience for me to work with Pankaj sir who has entertained us for so many years. Looking forward to this journey," the 34-year-old actor said in a statement.

Parashar, who also helmed the popular 1985 TV series Karamchand, said he is confident that Kapoor will be able to do a great job with double role in the comedy. "For me, there is nobody better than her for a film like Chaalbaaz In London. I also want to thank Mr Bhushan Kumar and Mr Ahmed Khan for trusting in my vision and idea. I can't wait to begin work on this project," he added.
