After announcing Ayushmann Khurrana and Rakul Preet Singh as leads in their much-anticipated film, Doctor G, Junglee Pictures has brought another popular and versatile actor on board. While both the actors portray the role of doctors in the movie, the makers have now roped in actress Shefali Shah, who also belongs to the same profession. The prolific actress will feature alongside Ayushmann and Rakul in this campus comedy-drama, which will be helmed by debutant director Anubhuti Kashyap.

While details of Shefali Shah's character have been kept under wraps, it's learnt that she will essay the role of a senior doctor - Dr. Nandini. For the first time, the three actors will share screen space together, which has certainly piqued curiosity among the audience wanting for more.

Director Anubhuti Kashyap shares, "I am thrilled to have Shefali join the team, she plays all her roles with so much ease and nuance - I'm a fan! This being my first film, I'm really looking forward to working with such powerhouses of talent."

Shefali Shah shares, "I am excited to be a part of Doctor G. The writers including Sumit, Saurabh, Vishal along with Anubhuti have written a fantastic script. I am really looking forward to collaborating with Anubhuti, Ayushmann, Junglee Pictures and the amazing team!"

Amrita Pandey, CEO Junglee Pictures shares, "When we started casting for Doctor G, the only name that came up for this part was Shefali. We believe she brings gravitas and great energy to this role. We cannot wait to have her on set and make this movie even more special."
