On Thursday, May 2, Karan Johar took to Instagram to announce the next Dharma-led film, titled Shershaah. This film is a biopic on Kargil hero Captain Vikram Batra and it features his protege Sidharth Malhotra. Through the post, filmmaker Karan Johar also revealed the name of the leading lady of his film, and it's none other than Lust Stories actress, Kiara Advani. Seemingly, the Dharma head honcho is mighty impressed with Kiara, as he had also roped her for a special song in Kalank after Lust Stories became a massive hit.
"Beginning the journey of #Shershaah soon [sic]" Karan wrote on Instagram.
