Ajay Devgn's much awaited project 'Shivaay' will see newcomer Sayyeshaa Saigal, whom the actor feels a perfect combination of beauty and brain.
As reported by Bollywoodlife, the primary reason for roping Sayyeshaa in is, "It's rare to find someone who not only has a beautiful face, but is also a fabulous performer."
"When I saw Sayyeshaa's screen test, I realised she has great potential," said Devgn.
The 47-year-old actor further said that 'Shivaay' is a performance-oriented film which needs a strong actress for the character of the leading lady.
The makers of the upcoming film recently unveiled the first look of Sayyeshaa, the grandniece of veteran actress Saira Banu.
The movie's official Twitter handle shared the first look of the actress, writing, "Here's presenting the ravishing @sayyeshaa Welcome her as she joins the journey of Shivaay."
'Shivaay' is slated to hit the theatres on October 28.
