MUMBAI: Suniel Shetty has been cast in the Sohail Khan-directed ‘Jai Ho’, earlier titled ‘Mental’. The film stars Salman Khan in the lead role.

Suniel Shetty’s role in ‘Jai Ho’ is that of a military man. Of course, the actor isn’t new such a character as he has played a military man before in films like ‘Border’ and ‘Main Hoon Naa’, both of which earned him accolades and nominations at various award ceremonies.

For the role in ‘Jai Ho’, Suniel Shetty is sporting a crew cut and will shoot on the outskirts of Panvel.

As the film is scheduled for release on 24 January, 2014, it seems like Suniel Shetty’s role will be a short one, but important to the film.

It sure will be fun to see Salman Khan and Suniel Shetty fight together in a film!
