As per a report, Kareena Kapoor and Ayushmann Khurrana are all set to collaborate for Meghna Gulzar's next, which is based on the chilling 2019 Hyderabad rape case.
Director Meghna Gulzar is known to come up with hard-hitting films and over the years, she has managed to create quite a goodwill for herself with films like 'Talvar', 'Raazi', and 'Sam Bahadur'. In the latest entertainment news, it seems like Meghna Gulzar is gearing up for yet another hard-hitting film, and as per a report in Pinkvilla, the director's next is based on the bone-chilling 2019 Hyderabad rape case. For the unversed, the Supreme Court had given verdict on 10 police officers in Hyderabad for allegedly firing on 4 rape accused with the intent to kill.
The same Pinkvilla report states that Ayushmann Khurrana and Kareena Kapoor Khan are in talks for the film.
"“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,” Pinkvilla quoted a source as saying.
"Meghna is looking to take the film on floors by the end of 2024. It will arrive in the cinema halls in 2025," the source added.
Further, the source said, "Meghna has done all her research on the subject through the last few years and had a strong source material on place for her screenplay. She was moved by all that happened. Kareena and Ayushmann resonated with the emotions and are looking forward to team up on this special project."
This film would mark the first collaboration of Kareena and Ayushmann Khurrana. This will the first time that these two actors would be working with Meghna as well.
Meghna Gulzar's last Hindi film, 'Sam Bahadur', starring Vicky Kaushal, Sanya Malhotra and Fatima Sana Shaikh, had emerged as a success story, despite clashing with Ranbir Kapoor's 'Animal', at the box office.
