Bollywood actress Nargis Fakhri, whose "Madras Cafe" is yet to come out Aug 23, has reportedly begun shooting for director David Dhawan's "Main Tera Hero".
The 33-year-old was spotted filming the first scene at Film City here with Varun Dhawan, who shot to fame with "Student Of The Year".
Nargis, who stepped into Bollywood with "Rockstar", will soon join the team of director-writer Rumi Jaffrey's "Shaukeen" remake for a month-long schedule.
Produced by Ekta Kapoor, "Main Tera Hero" also features Ileana D'Cruz and it is scheduled for an April 4, 2014 release.
This is the first time Varun will team up with his father, David, known for giving hits like "Partner".

Ram-Priyanka played a trick on Lakhia, sent fake wedding invites
Actors Ram Charan and Priyanka Chopra, who are working together in the "Zanjeer" remake, recently played a prank on the film's director Apoorva Lakhia by sending his wedding invitation to his friends.
The duo reportedly sent a text message from Lakhia's phone to everyone that his wedding is about to take place soon and they're invited.
The message read: "Hey. Hope you guys are doing fine. I have an announcement to make. I've finally decided to tie the knot. I know it's been long due. The official invite shall reach you soon. I want you all to be part of my big day, regards Apoorva."
And Lakhia ended up answering calls explaining the practical joke to everyone, including his puzzled parents, while Priyanka and Ram had a good laugh.

Will 'Grand Masti' spoil Aftab's marriage plans?
Actor Vivek Oberoi jokes that no father would allow his daughter to marry Aftab Shivdasani after watching him in "Grand Masti".
The adult comedy brings together Riteish Deshmukh, Aftab Shivdasani and Vivek on the big screen again after the 2004 hit "Masti".
Going by the promos, the film is replete with double-meaning dialogues.
"As far as me and Riteish are concerned, we are already married, but I am worried about Aftab, who is still single. Which girl would agree to marry him after watching 'Grand Masti'? No father will give away his daughter to Aftab after the film releases," Vivek said in a statement.
Directed by Indra Kumar, "Grand Masti" is slated to release Sep 13.
