Zoya Akhtar is one of the most celebrated directors in Bollywood and her movies have always turned out to be cult classics if not immensely successful at the box office. Turns out Zoya’s next project is going to be a gangster drama, a gritty tone similar to that of Gully Boy. What’s more? She might be casting Ranveer Singh and Katrina Kaif as main leads in the film.

A report in Pinkvilla suggests that Ranveer is okayed the project and was in the process of locking down the dates when the lockdown was imposed. Post this, Ranveer will sort out his dates for projects he’s already committed and then start on Zoya’s.

As for Kat, she and Zoya are great friends and when the story was narrated to her, she immediately agreed to it. Katrina’s role is a really important one that is integral to Ranveer’s character. This is the second time that Zoya and Kat will be working together after Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara. As for Ranveer, this will be the third time that he will be working with Zoya after Dil Dhadakne Do and Gully Boy.

We’re so thrilled for this to happen! Keeping our fingers crossed and eyes peeled for this one.
