Ajay Devgn’s next directorial venture produced by Eros International and Ajay himself is the hugely ambitious magnum opus Shivaay which is all set to release in January 2016.

Devgn wanted to keep his leading lady under wraps,and not reveal her identity till later, and despite valiant efforts from production to keep her hidden, the snapparazzi and shutterbugs around the set managed to click the fresh debutante heroine while she was doing a photoshoot for the movie.

The lady in question is none other than the grand-niece of  Saira Banu and legendary actor Dilip Kumar, she is the  daughter of actress Shaheen (leading actress of the 90’s), Sayesha. Yes you read it right, she has been cast  as the leading lady opposite Ajay Devgn in his upcoming directorial venture Shivaay which will also see Devgn don the leading actors cap along with being the Director and Producer.

We hear that many actresses from B-Town were eyeing for this very role seeing the scale of the film, but after several round of auditions Sayesha was selected, and when shown to Devgn he zeroed down on her as she fitted the role perfectly!

Well, coming from one of India’s first superstars family, looks like huge expectations are set with Sayesha who has got herself a dream launch vehicle with Devgns Shivaay!

Shivaay is produced by Ajay Devgn Ffilms and Eros International.
