This pairing has sure got us super excited now. All set to come together in filmmaker Shoojit Sircar’s next are Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana for his film, Gulabo Sitabo. Written by Juhi Chaturvedi, Gulabo Sitabo, is a quirky comedy. The same was confirmed by Shoojit in an official statement saying, “Juhi and I have been working on the script for a while now. We all know whenever she comes up with a story, it has her trademark quirk. As soon as I read it, I shared it with Mr Bachchan and Ayushmann at the same time. I thought it would take some time to develop and take it forward but everyone was so enthusiastic to work on the script, they figured out their dates and here we are, planning to release the film this year itself.”
The shooting for the film will begin in Lucknow next month and it will be released in November this year itself.
4. Deepika Padukone to star in as well as co-produce ’83
If a report in a leading daily is anything to go by, Deepika Padukone will be joining Ranveer Singh in his next - ’83. The film which is a biopic on cricket legend Kapil Dev will have DP do a cameo in the film. A source close to the project further informed, “Deepika has a good role because she plays Kapil's wife Romi Bhatia who was also a pageant winner. In fact, as far as the story goes, she had left the stadium after India started losing the wickets. But when she heard that they are on the verge of winning the World Cup, she came back to the stadium. That part is extremely dramatic. Also, the film will delve into the relationship between the husband and wife, their love story.”
We are quite excited to see #DeepVeer together in the film, what about you?
