“Dhaakad is not only a benchmark film for my career but will be a turning point for Indian cinema as well. Sohel and Razy are my friends, and we have been planning this project for some time. I can’t wait to start work on this film,” Ranaut had said in a statement. Describing Dhaakad as a “one of a kind female-lead action film,” she had said that if it is received well, there will be no looking back for women in Indian cinema. Previously, a teaser video clip for the film showed Ranaut wielding machine guns at an abandoned factory site. Touted as a high-octane action drama, Dhaakad was initially announced as a Diwali 2020 release, however, it took a set-back due to the coronavirus lockdown. A new date has not been announced yet. The film has been produced by Sohail Maklai productions and Asylum films, and co-produced by Qyuki Digital Medi. Ranaut was last seen in sports drama _Panga_ . She will be next seen in  _Thalaivi_ , a biopic on actor-turned-politician, J Jayalalithaa. The flick is penned by Baahubali and The Dirty Picture writers KV Vijayendra Prasad and Rajat Arora, respectively. Arvind Swami will also play a pivotal role in Thalaivi, which will release in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. She is also preparing for Sarvesh Mewara’s _Tejas_ where she will be essaying the character of an Indian Air Force pilot.
