It is final. 'Murder 3' has a new leading lady and that goes by the name of Aditi Rao Hydari.

Though the petite 'London Paris New York' girl seemed like the most unusual choice for a Bhatt film, she was relieved when told that the film was more of a thriller and not quite an erotica, something that made her instantly say 'yes' the film.

"When it comes to films from the house of Bhatts, actresses have a definite role to play and are required to shed their inhibitions while taking the bold road", says an industry insider, "Of course you can't expect Aditi to take a route a la Mallika Sherawat.

However, do expect her to get into the sensual zone for sure. Though it is yet to be seen whether she would be seen kissing on screen or not, don't be surprised if that actually happens. She has no apprehensions about that as she exchanged over a dozen kisses with Arunoday Singh in 'Yeh Saali Zindagi'.

Moreover she recently did a bold shoot in a two piece bikini too."

Says film's producer Mukesh Bhatt, "Yes, Aditi is the perfect choice. However, please highlight the fact this 'Murder 3' is not an erotica. It is more of a sensual thriller.
