Arjun Kapoor and producer Nikkhil Advani are joining hands for a film. While we’re yet to lay our hands on an official announcement, we hear that the film in question will be helmed by debutant Kaashvi Nair, the daughter of filmmaker K Shashilal Nair who has directed films such as One 2 Ka 4, Kroadh.
Now, the latest buzz is that the makers have found their leading lady in Rakul Preet Singh. We hear it’s a cross-border film with plenty of coming-of-age elements and has already rolled. Although it’s her first feature directorial, Kaashvi’s association with Nikkhil’s Emmay Entertainment is nearly a decade old. At the same time, Nikkhil’s friendship with Arjun Kapoor dates back to the Kal Ho Naa Ho days where the actor worked as an assistant director.
Arjun, meanwhile, has also shot for Dibakar Banerjee’s Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar, and is now awaiting the release of Panipat. He is also on board for the Hindi remake of Comali, which is being produced by his father Boney Kapoor.
Rakul Preet Singh predominantly works in the Telugu and Tamil film industries. She has also appeared in a number of Hindi and Kannada movies. Currently, she is appointed as the brand ambassador for Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao programme by Telangana State Government.
She has appeared in De De Pyaar De, a 2019 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy film written by Luv Ranjan and directed by Akiv Ali in his directorial debut. It also stars Ajay Devgn and Tabu. She is also part of the upcoming film Marjaavaan directed by Milap Zaveri and starring Riteish Deshmukh, Sidharth Malhotra and Tara Sutaria in the lead roles.
