Actress Aditi Rao Hydari, who was last seen in "London, Paris, New York" with Ali Zafar, has now been roped in to be part of Akshay Kumar-starrer "Boss".

The film's director Anthony D'Souza told: "Aditi is finalised for the film, but we can't talk exactly which character she will be playing in the film. You will have to wait till Dec 15 for an official announcement."

D'Souza, who helmed "Blue" in 2009, says the first schedule of the film has already been shot in Delhi.

"We have just finished the first schedule for the film in Delhi with Akshay Kumar. It was a very small schedule. We are planning to release the film in the middle of next year, " he said.

Asked what the film is about, he said: "It is too early to talk about the film. All I can say is that it will be a typical masala entertainer."

If reports are anything to go by, the movie is a remake of Malayalam film "Pokkiri Raja".
