"It's so exciting that finally Prakash sir will direct me. I have acted with him in two movies in Telugu before and we had such great time working with each other. His energy is infectious. Icing on the cake being I will get to share screen space with Nana Patekar," Taapsee said in a statement.

"I have seen the film in south, but a lot has changed in it now to suit the sensibilities of Hindi audience, and I'm nothing short of thrilled to be doing this role in such an amazing star cast," she added.

The film is a remake of Tamil film 'Un Samayal Arayil'.

Also starring Ali Fazal and Shriya Saran, the film is set to be shot in Goa starting first week of May.

The plot of the film is based on a cross connection, which changes fates of two strangers.
