Shahid Kapoor and Sherlyn Chopra in Yashr

Shahid Kapoor and Sherlyn Chopra in Yashraj's next.

There were times when Yashraj worked exclusively with 'A' league stars only, but looks like the production house has changed its strategy by focusing more on talented actors across the board instead of blindly opting for the top stars.

Yashraj has signed C-league actress-n-item girl Sherlyn Chopra for their next. Shahid was already in talks with Yashraj, and Rani was finalized for the project as well, but Yash Chopra pulled out a surprise by signing Sherlyn.

'Red Swastik' marked Sherlyn's debut in Bollywood and the director somehow managed to schedule Yash Chopra's calendar to watch the flick. The filmmaker was so impressed with Miss Chopra's performance that he commented that Sherlyn would go a long way in Bollywood.

Sherlyn also, invited Yash Chopra to launch her album 'Outrageous', an invitation which he readily accepted so the smart-n-bold move by the girl sure paid off.

The Shahid-Rani starrer is being directed by Anurag Singh and Sherlyn would be playing a seductress in the movie who will be seen portraying her favorite 'hot item' avatar.

We can only hope that Yashraj's 'Outrageous' act of picking Sherlyn for their next pays off at the box-office.
