Looks like Suniel Shetty's daughter has defeated her counterpart and 'Dilwale' actress Kriti Sanon to bag the role of Sanjay Dutt's daughter in an upcoming flick which is being directed and produced by Siddharth Anand. Cuteness Alert! Ajay Devgn’s son Yug PLAYS with Sanjay Dutt’s twin Shahraan and Iqra! See Inside! For the past few days, reports about a race between Kriti Sanon and Athiya Shetty have been doing the rounds. And now, according to a report published in SpotboyE, the race is over and Athiya's name has been locked for the role of Sanju's daughter. REALLY! Post BREAKUP with Ankita Lokhande, Sushant Singh Rajput DATING Kriti Sanon? The report further states that Sanjay Dutt himself finalised Athiya, as he has known her since her childhood. The 'Khalnayak' actor has worked with her father Suniel Shetty in a few films and has always treated his co-star’s daughter like his own. The action-packed film will roll in a couple of months. Reports also adds that Sanjay Dutt has action scenes that will remind one of NSG commandos. Also Athiya is expected to perform stunts, for which she will undergo training in mixed martial arts. However, the filmmaker has not confirmed it yet! Hope to hear the official announcement soon.
