Telugu actress Shalini Pandey, who rose to fame with 'Arjun Reddy', is all set for a Bollywood debut opposite hotshot Ranveer Singh. Titled 'Jayeshbhai Jordaar' releasing next year, its storyline celebrates women empowerment, aver makers.

Yash Raj Films has always discovered supremely talented outsiders like Ranveer Singh, Anushka Sharma, Bhumi Pednekar, etc who have become stars in their own right. So, one can imagine that Shalini will definitely be an actress to watch out for given YRF's trust in backing her as the leading lady opposite a powerhouse performer like Ranveer.

About her big-ticket Bollywood debut, Shalini says, "Being given the opportunity to be signed on as a talent and also being cast under the Yash Raj Films banner is truly any artist's dream. I've been blessed with this huge chance to show my mettle in the Hindi film industry and I'm incredibly thankful for it.

I'm also very fortunate to be sharing screen space with Ranveer Singh who is one of the biggest superstars of our generation and also one of the most versatile actors too. I'm thrilled about being paired opposite to him and this inspires me to prepare myself thoroughly to deliver the best."
