This project will mark the third collaboration between the production houses, after Suresh Triveni’s debut with Tumhari Sulu  starring Vidya Balan and more recently, Soumik Sen’s second feature  Cheat India  with Emraan Hashmi in the lead. A statement from the producers read: “Tahira has worn several hats…. from being the programming head of a radio station in the North to a theatre writer-director, author, teacher of mass communication and journalism, and short film-maker. Her incredible stories are rooted in realism and heart. We are delighted to back her debut journey and look forward to making many more movies with her.” The casting for the upcoming film is ongoing and will be announced soon. The makers expect it to go into production in early 2019. Meanwhile, Khurrana will be seen next as a visually impaired pianist in Sriram Raghavan’s (of Badlapur fame) neo-noir thriller _Andhadhun_ . The film also stars Radhika Apte and Tabu in pivotal roles.
