Ayushmann Khurrana and Kareena Kapoor to join hands for the first time in a Meghna Gulzar film. Yes, you read it right, and you can already imagine a blockbuster hard-hitting film coming your way. It has been reported that Meghna Gulzar is planning to make a film inspired by the horrifying 2019 Hyderabad rape case, and she is in advanced conversations with Ayushmann Khurrana and Kareena Kapoor to play the lead in the film.
Pinkvilla quoted a source saying, "It's a hard-hitting film that warrants the presence of actors with the calibre of Kareena Kapoor Khan and Ayushmann Khurrana. The duo has read the script and were shocked by the details of the case. After 'Talvar,' this is another film that could shock the nation and stir a conversation about the case."
It has been further claimed that Meghna is planning to start the film by the end of this year and she wants it to be released in theaters by 2025. As per the source, "Meghna is looking to take the film on floors by the end of 2024. It will arrive in cinema halls in 2025."
"Meghna has done all her research on the subject over the last few years and had strong source material in place for her screenplay. She was moved by all that happened. Kareena and Ayushmann resonated with the emotions and are looking forward to teaming up on this special project," the source concluded. If Kareena and Ayushmann come on board, this will mark their first collaboration, and it will also be the first time Meghna will be working with these two actors.
