Few days back it was reported Siddharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra might be coming together for Anurag Kashyap and Karan Johar's next movie. The rumor is true as Sidharth and Parineeti have now been signed by Anurag and Karan for their next venture. The movie will be directed by Vinil Mathew.
Anurag Kashyap “Sidharth and Parineeti are among the most promising newcomers we have on the scene. The story works with fresh faces, but requires a high level of chemistry and maturity in the performances. After spending months shortlisting various actors, we finalised Sidharth and Parineeti, as they make an exciting pair to watch out for!”
Karan is also excited because there are several firsts in this project. One, his banner is teaming up with Phantom Films; two, Vinil is making his big-screen debut and three, Sidharth-Parineeti pairing is new.
Karan Johar speaks - “Vinil is a prolific ad filmmaker, who has directed myriad ad films, including one with me. He’s bright. The freshness factor alone makes this film all the more exciting. Anurag, Vikramaditya, Vikas, Madhu and I are from different schools of thought. A blend of so many different-thinking people is exciting.”
