Mumbai: It has been known for a while that Karan Johar will be adapting Amish Tripathi’s bestseller, Immortals of Meluha into a film. The first book in the Shiva trilogy tells the story of a Tibetan immigrant named Shiva who is invited to the kingdom of Meluha.
Karan has been looking for a fresh face to fit the character of Lord Shiva. We now hear that Tiger, whose debut film Heropanti releases on Friday, has been approached for the part.
Our source says, “His real life persona will make it easier for him to essay the role of this deity. Interestingly, Tiger is a devotee of Lord Shiva in real life. He is a firm believer and takes immense inspiration from Shiva’s stories that he has read. Also before before any auspicious event in his life, Tiger ensures that he seeks Lord Shiva’s blessings.”
When contacted, Tiger chose to remain tight lipped. He said, “There have been a lot of projects that I have been approached for. But I can only talk about them once they are finalised.”
