This is the third film I’ll be shooting in the pandemic. But summers will be tough. One of the best scripts I’ve ever read.
Too excited to collaborate with @anubhuti_k @JungleePictures @Rakulpreet @ShefaliShah_ #SheebaChadha #SumitSaxena #SaurabhBharat #VishalWagh pic.twitter.com/oDWO7jdF9Z
Khurrana has already completed Abhishek Kapoor’s Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui with Vaani Kapoor and reunited with his Article 15 (2019) director Anubhav Sinha for Anek. Both films are expected to be released this year.
Kashyap directed one segment from Netflix’s anthology Home Stories (2020) as well as the Amazon Prime web-series Afsos (2020). She has co-written the screenplay along with Sumit Saxena, Vishal Wagh and Saurabh Bharat.
