Shreya Dhanwanthary
Word is R Balki has roped in 'Scam 1992' actor Shreya Dhanwanthary in his upcoming psychological thriller starring Dulquer Salmaan. She played journalist Sucheta Dalal in Hansal Mehta's much-acclaimed web series. Dhanwanthary seems to have finally caught the attention of filmmakers considering her B-Town outing, the Emraan Hashmi-starrer 'Why Cheat India' (2019), proved to be a dud.

We won't be surprised if music maestro Ilaiyaraaja and Amitabh Bachchan are also part of the project after all Balki considers them his inspirations. Big B has been part of all his directorial ventures. If the veteran superstar is not included in the cast, Balki makes sure that he does a cameo or a voice-over.
