Riteish Deshmukh, Tamannaah Bhatia to star in Netflix’s Plan A Plan B

Riteish Deshmukh and Tamannaah Bhatia have been paired opposite one another in Netflix’s upcoming feature, an 'unplanned love story' titled Plan A Plan B (2021).

Directed by Shashanka Ghosh, the film also stars Poonam Dhillon and Kusha Kapila. The coming-of-age romance story has been written by Rajat Arora.

The synopsis of the film states, “She is a matchmaker who believes marriage is for everyone, except herself. He is a successful divorce lawyer with a secret. What happens when they cross paths? Can opposites coexist, let alone attract?”

Ghosh, who has directed films such as Khoobsurat (2014) and Veere Di Wedding (2018), said he was excited to announce his latest project. “It is a one-of-a-kind story with unusual characters pitted against each other and a refreshing take on what love entails, tapping into many different emotions,” he said. “I have thoroughly enjoyed creating this for audiences worldwide on Netflix and I feel the film will definitely resonate with them.’’
 
The director recently began shooting for the romantic thriller Freddy starring Kartik Aaryan.

Speaking about his digital debut, actor Riteish Deshmukh said, “Working with Shashanka sir has been an absolute pleasure. What excites me the most is the terrific storyline of the film and the journey of this unexpected love story. I can't wait for the audience all across the globe to watch this extraordinary story come to life on Netflix.”

Bhatia, who has previously worked with Deshmukh in Himmatwala (2013) and Humshakals (2014), also said that Plan A Plan B is very special to her. She said, “Everything from the story to my character won me over right from the start. While her character is that of a matchmaker — making others fall in love, she doesn't want the same for herself. Working on this film has been a great experience with the whole team as we had a blast on the sets almost every time we shot! I can't wait for the world to witness this unique story very soon."

Produced by India Stories Media & Entertainment and Funk Your Blues Entertainment, along with Netflix, the feature film is due to be released soon.
