On the professional front, Kareena Kapoor is set to take on roles in The Buckingham Murders and Singham Again, but her next major project is Daayra. According to reports from India Today, the film will be directed by Meghna Gulzar and will also feature Prithviraj Sukumaran. Daayra is based on a true and unsettling incident, and while details about the story remain sparse, it has been reported that Sukumaran will play a pivotal role as a police officer. The actor has expressed enthusiasm for both the script and his character.
Initial casting attempts included actors Ayushmann Khurrana and Sidharth Malhotra, who had to withdraw due to scheduling conflicts. A source close to the situation revealed, “After the exit of Ayushmann and Sidharth, Prithviraj was approached and resonated with the script and its message. His character is crucial to the film’s narrative, while Kareena’s portrayal will showcase her in a compelling light, embodying strength, vulnerability, and insightful instincts.” This project represents a first-time collaboration between Sukumaran and Kapoor.
Meanwhile, Saif Ali Khan is gearing up for his next film, Jewel Thief. Directed by Kookie Gulati and Robbie Grewal, this production also boasts an impressive ensemble cast, featuring Kunal Kapoor, Nikita Dutta, and Gagan Arora. Reports suggest that Jewel Thief is slated for a Netflix premiere on March 27, although an official confirmation from the filmmakers has yet to be issued.
