Farah Khan, who will again be wearing the director's hat for her film Happy New Year, has signed Jackie Shroff for the villain's role. Buzz is that Jackie, who was last seen in Aurangzeb, will be seen in a very challenging role in Farah's film. Happy New Year already boasts of an envious starcast comprising of Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Boman Irani and Vivaan Shah.

With the addition of Jackie in the film, Farah has only raised up the entertainment quotient of the film. Happy New Year is slated to go on floor by the end of this month and will be shot in Dubai.
