 Newcomer Sasha Agha who is the daughter of Pakistani singing star and actress Salma Agha is soon going to be seen on the big screen of Bollywood opposite Arjun Kapoor (Ishaqzaade fame)

The film already boasts of a dynamic cast of Rishi Kapoor, Jackie Shroff and Amrita Singh. Directed by Atul Sabharwal and produced by Aditya Chopra the shoot for the film began some time in mid-August.

Sasha is holds strong resemblance to her mother Salma. Her mother — most famous for her rendition of the award-winning song Dil ke Armaan in BR Chopra's Nikaah — and grandmother, Nasreen, worked with KL Saigal in AK Kardaar's Shahjahan (1940). Salma's maternal grandfather Jugal Kishore Mehra and his wife Anwar Begum acted in Heer Ranjha in 1932.
