Vikrant Massey and Kriti Kharbanda will be seen together first time on screen in the upcoming social comedy 14 Phere (2021) which is slated to release next year on 9 July.
The film is penned by Manoj Kalwani, and will be directed by Devanshu Singh. Singh had earlier co-directed Chintu Ka Birthday (2020) with his brother Satyanshu; this will be his first solo project.
The leads, with director Devanshu, introduced the film with a quirky but funny announcement video.

In his statement to news agency Press Trust of India (PTI), Massey said the film talks about some pertinent things relevant in current times. "The script hit me hard, the ideology of the film, and the main thought behind the story is something that has been with me, individually," he stated.
"When I heard the script, it felt like two halves becoming one, I would have been a fool to let go of this film," Massey added.
Kharbanda, who plays the female lead, described 14 Phere as a socially relevant script with an element of humor. "I absolutely love the character of Aditi that I will be portraying in this film," she shared. "I am super excited to get started in bringing Aditi to life. I’m looking forward to sharing screen space with Vikrant who’s a terrific actor."
Shariq Patel, Zee Studios CEO, revealed that the team is currently working on pre-production and prepping to go on floor in November. "It’s a quirky, contemporary, emotional, and relevant film which also highlights how weddings, most often, happen between two families, not just two people," Patel told PTI.
