TOI:Hunar Hali's eyes bag her a film

The New Year has started on a good note for actress Hunar Hali, who was last seen in daily soap Chhal — Sheh Aur Maat.

She has bagged a role in Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar's upcoming film. Hunar's work was noticed by the film's casting director, who immediately sent her pictures to Akshay's office.

Akki, we hear, loved Hunar's eyes and found them extremely expressive. He immediately agreed to sign her up. Hunar has already started shooting for the film in Mumbai, which stars Aditi Rao Hydari opposite Akshay.

We hope the role is pivotal to the script and not just a blink-and-you-miss-it one.

Hunar remained unavailable for comment.
