Remember the hijacker Safrini from Neerja? His brutal act in the film won him a lot of accolades from critics and audiences alike. Now, model-turned actor Abrar Zahoor is all set to be a part of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus, Padmavati.
Quite a catch, we say.

A source told SpotboyE.com, “Abrar has auditioned for a significant negative role in the film. It’s only a matter of time that he signs on the dotted line.”
Interestingly, Bhansali, who launched Sonam Kapoor in Saawariya (2007), noticed Abrar in Sonam-starrer Neerja and was called for an audition.
Padmavati tells the tale of Alauddin Khilji, the second ruler of Khilji dynasty and his obsessive love for the queen of Mewar, Padmavati. While Ranveer will essay the role of Khilji, Deepika will play Padmavati. Shahid will be seen playing Deepika’s husband, Raja Ratansen.
