Filmmakers Karan Johar and Shakun are collaborating on a drama that will star Deepika Padukone and Siddhant Chaturvedi as romantic partners. Ananya Panday will be starring in a pivotal role and the actor playing her love interest is yet to be cast.
The yet-untitled film will kick off in March, this year. Deepika, in an interview with Mumbai Mirror, said, “I am a big fan of Shakun’s work. He is beautiful when it comes to dealing with interpersonal relationships. This is a story about two couples and creatively, I was looking forward to doing something in this space.” The actress added, “I don’t like to box the films that I do. Shakun’s film is kind of in the Cocktail and Yeh Jaawani Hai Deewani space but also new in many ways. It belongs to a genre that we haven’t attempted in Indian cinema before.”
Shakun, who has previously directed Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu (2012) and Kapoor & Sons (2016), will also produce the movie along with Karan Johar and Apoorva Mehta. The film is set to hit the screens on February 12, 2021.
