Bollywood star Taapsee Pannu and writer-producer Kanika Dhillon are reuniting for a new feature film, titled “Gandhari”, streaming service Netflix announced on Tuesday.
The duo earlier worked on “Haseen Dillruba” (2021) and its follow-up “Phir Aayi Hasseen”, which released on the streamer’s platform on August 9.
“Gandhari” is described as an action-thriller film that will explore a “different kind of love — the profound bond between mother and child”, a press release said.
“‘Gandhari’ promises a riveting storyline filled with relentless determination and intense personal stakes, set against the backdrop of gripping mystery and high-powered action. Audiences will see Taapsee Pannu as a fierce mom on a mission,” it added.
Devashish Makhija, known for making critically-acclaimed titles such as “Ajji” as well as “Bhonsle” and “Joram” with Manoj Bajpayee, will direct “Gandhari” from a script by Dhillon.
Expressing confidence in her partnership with Dhillon to create a “magic” on screen, Pannu said she is thrilled to explore an intense character in “Gandhari”.
