Salman Khan’s upcoming film, Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali, which is now titled Bhaijaan, is in the news for more reasons than one and especially for its cast. The makers roped in Shehnaaz Gill, who has become a popular name ever since her participation in the 13th edition of Bigg Boss.

We have now learnt that Palak Tiwari, daughter of TV actress Shweta Tiwari, is the latest to be brought on board to join the cast. Contrary to the rumours that Shehnaaz will be paired opposite singer-actor Jassie Gill, we can tell you that it is Palak who has been cast opposite him.

A unit hand informed us, “Palak has been handpicked by Salman. She will be seen opposite Jassie and has an amazing track in the film. She has joined the shoot.”

Incidentally, Palak worked as an assistant director in Salman Khan and Aayush Sharma’s film, Antim: The Final Truth. She also shared the stage with Salman in an episode of Bigg Boss 15. Bhaijaan, which is helmed by Farhad Samji, also features Venkatesh, Pooja Hegde, Raghav Juyal and Siddharth Nigam. Despite repeated attempts, we could not reach Palak for comment.
