Saif Ali Khan's next film Baazaar has been joined by gorgeous actor Chitrangda Singh who will be playing the role of Mandira, Saif's wife in the film.

Nikkhil stated: "I'm happy that the cast is looking so exciting. We have Saif, Chitrangda, Radhika Apte and Rohan Mehra. The shoot has just begun and will be wrapped up by mid-August while the film is slated for a December release. Prachi has expressed interest in working with my production house but that is for another project. As far as the role of Mandira in Baazaar is concerned, Gauravv K Chawla, my director, came up with the idea of casting Chitrangda."

About Chitrangda, Nikkhil said, "I won't call it a comeback but just the fact that she hasn't done anything for quite some time was instrumental in us considering her because it's a powerful character that's silent and simmering, like a volcano about to erupt.Casting her opposite Saif makes the film about strong actors and characters."
