Titled "Drive", the movie which also stars Sushant Singh Rajput will be produced by Karan Johar.
The actress says she is a Formula One junkie and as a teenager she used to follow one of the largest sporting events of Middle East - the Bahrain Grand Prix.
"While growing up in Bahrain, I and my friend have done so many car race rallies and we have also won a lot of times. We never missed Formula One races. I love Formula One. It is exciting to be part of 'Drive' as I love this world.
The actress, however, says the movie has a lot more to offer than just racing cars.
