I hope I can make a good film that will stay with people after the lights come on. I am a huge fan of thrillers, so I wanted to start with that," she was quoted by the daily. Tisca will also appear in Karan Johar’s romantic-comedy _Good News_, where she will co-star with Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Diljit Dosanjh and Kiara Advani. She has finished shooting for the film. Taare Zameen Par, her best known feature film, was India’s official entry to the Academy Awards. She has also penned a book titled Acting Smart. Chutney, which was produced under her company The Eastern Way, won two Filmfare Awards (Best Actress and Best Short Film) recently.
