Kareena Kapoor Khan is all set to turn producer for the very first time in collaboration with Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji Telefilms.
The untitled film will be directed by Hansal Mehta. The film is inspired by a real-life incident and is set in the UK. It is scheduled to go on floors soon.
This collaboration marks the coming together of Ekta Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan since Veere Di Wedding.
Sharing her excitement for the Kareena Kapoor Khan said:
“Very honoured and excited to work as a producer on this film with Ekta whom my family has known for years and of course to be directed by Hansal for the first time.
I am a huge fan of Hansal’s films and to be working with him for the first time will be special. There are a lot of firsts on this film and I cannot wait to begin this journey.”
Producer Ekta Kapoor of Balaji Telefilms said, “Kareena Kapoor Khan is a dynamite combination of star power and talent.
We last worked together on ‘Veere Di Wedding’ which was probably the biggest hit headlined by a female star.
The second time’s always a charm and I’m confident this one too will excite the audiences.
To have Hansal Mehta, one of the most prolific filmmakers of our times tell this story makes it all the more exciting! Get ready for one of the most intriguing and shocking mainstream films thus far.”
Filmmaker Hansal Mehta said: “Our aim with this film is to create a fresh, gripping, and moody thriller with Kareena playing a character that I am hoping will do justice to her immense talent as an actor.
I look forward to venturing on this journey with Ekta and Kareena, both of whom have accomplished so much in their respective careers and are absolute powerhouses.”
Hansal Mehta last helmed the critically acclaimed Scam 1992 and Chhalaang.
His other films also consist of Faraaz as well as the Kartik Aaryan starrer Captain India.
