Actor Angad Bedi, who is known for his performances in films like Pink (2015), Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) and Soorma (2018), has reportedly bagged Dharma Productions’ forthcoming project.

Buzz has it that the young actor has been roped in to play an important role in Karan Johar's upcoming production venture, which is a biopic on flight lieutenant Gunjan Saxena. The actor will star opposite newcomer Janhvi Kapoor who plays the female lead in the flick.


“Angad is on board the film now. However, it is not clear whether he has stepped into an independent role or whether he will be replacing Dulquer Salmaan whose name has also cropped up as one of the actors in the film,” a source reveals.The movie tells a true-life tale of two female flight lieutenants Gunjan Saxena and Srividya Rajan, who flew choppers to evacuate injured Indian soldiers during Kargil war in 1999, fighting against all odds in northern Kashmir.

The project is yet to be announced officially.
