    “It’s true that Lokesh Kanagaraj recently met Rashmika and had even narrated the script. However, the actress refused to be a part of it as she had given her dates for her first Bollywood film, which will feature Shahid Kapoor in the lead role,” the source says.


    We also hear that her Bollywooddebut will be the remake of hit Telugu film, Jersey, which had Nani playing the role of a professional cricketer.


    While Shahid Kapoor will reprise Nani’s role, Rashmika Mandanna will be seen as his wife — a role played by Shraddha Srinath in the original. The remake is said to be produced by Jersey’s original maker Dil Raju. “The film will go on floors in the first week of November and the script has been tweaked a little to suit the Hindi sensibilities.” In one of the earlier interviews, Rashmika had said that it is her dream to share screen space with Vijay. However, it looks like she has much bigger dreams now.
