Though the girl from Dehra Doon is being kept strictly under wraps by the protective producer as he wishes to unveil his debutante elaborately, one got to know of the newcomer after Firoz was overheard raving about Sakshi whom he had seen in a South Indian film.
Says the source, `When Firoz met the young hopeful actress he was very impressed by her confidence poise and beauty. Firoz immediately signed Sakshi for a 3-film deal. The first of these would be the long-delayed third film in the Hera Pheri franchise which got stalled after Firoz's fall-out with Akshay. John has now taken over the franchise. The leading just fell into place when when Sakhi walked into Firoz's office.`
Sakshi Chowdhary is the winner of Gladrags 2011. She has done a Telugu film Portugadu opposite Manoj Manchu.
