SpotboyE.com now has it that Shraddha has put her nose in the front in the 3-horse race to play the female lead in Neeraj Pandey's film on the famed cricketer.
Alia and Kriti are virtually out of contention of the Sushant Singh Rajput starrer. Neeraj thinks that Shraddha would suit the part better.
So what makes the ABCD 2 actress the front runner?
Explaining the director's thought process, a source says, "Neeraj is quite impressed by the fact that Shraddha's North Indian accent is quite close to Sakshi's style of talking."
An official announcement in this regard is expected soon, well before the film rolls next month.
