We had earlier reported that Taapsee Pannu will play the leading role in the prequel of Neeraj Pandey's Baby and Akshay Kumar will be doing an extended cameo in it. To be helmed by Shivam Nair, we hear, the movie titled Meera after Taapsee's character, will have a fresh cast. Interestingly, her character was called Priya in the 2015 action thriller.

Says a source, “While Manoj Bajpayee and Prithviraj have been roped in for pivotal roles, one more actor is yet to be cast. How Taapsee's character becomes an agent forms the crux of this story, thus leading to what unfolded in Baby.“

When contacted, the actress said, “I play the titular role in this action thriller and I'm undergoing training in martial arts to prepare for the action scenes.“
