Australian born Indian actress Pallavi Sharda, who has played small roles in movies like My Name Is Khan and Love BreakUps Zindagi, is reportedly finalised to play the lead role in Ranbir Kapoor starrer Besharam. Parineeti Chopra was earlier considered for this role in Abhinav Kashyap's directorial venture.

Pallavi will play the role of a typical Delhi girl. She is confident that she can easily carry off the role as her parents are from Delhi and because she already knows how to speak in Hindi. Furthermore, she is extremely excited about working with her favorite hero and said she loved his performance in Barfi.

Pallavi is a trained Bharatnatyam dancer and loves Bollywood movies for their dance. And is apparently looking forward to doing 'latkas and jhatkas' in her upcoming movie.

If you're wondering how this lass developed a liking for Bollywood movies, she admitted that her parents made her watch Hindi films in Australia to keep her in touch with her roots.She further adds that impressed by Bollywood movies, she decided to become an actress at the age of 3. Despite being laughed off by her parents, she remained firm on her goal.

Pallavi is a big fan of Sridevi and was called Pallavi Devi by friends and family. She said that she is looking forward to watching the diva's comeback movie English Vinglish.

Bollycurry wishes Pallavi all the luck for her first lead mainstream role!
