Dinu is reuniting with Raj and DK once again after 'Go Goa Gon'e. Reveals a source, “All three of them were extremely clear that they wanted an A-list heroine opposite Raj. Their first choice was Shraddha and she loved the script. Right after the first narration, she was in splits. She immediately okayed the film, worked out the modalities and signed on the dotted line on Monday evening.” Shraddha is also excited about her first stint in the genre. DNAAfterHrs source said, “Shraddha plays a regular Indian girl who is Raj’s love interest. But, all the characters have a surprise element. The story is based on an urban legend. Shraddha has never been part of a horror film or a comedy. So, this will be her debut in this space.”
