Having bagged roles in films like ‘Nautanki Saala’ (2013), ‘Yeh Jawaani hai Deewani’ (2013) and most recently ‘Yaariyan’ (2014), Sharma will next be seen David Dhawan’s ‘Main Tera Hero’. However, her following film ‘Bhaiyyaji Superhit’ seems to be the one to look out for, where the model-turned-actress is set to play a more traditional character.
