Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury casts Huma Qureshi for his next

After winning rave reviews for his critically and commercially successful courtroom drama Pink in 2016, director Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury is about to finish writing his next movie. And if reports are to be believed, the director has approached Huma Qureshi to star in his upcoming directorial.

“Huma and Aniruddha met a few times, and have spoken at length about this project. It’s a hard-hitting drama based on a real-life incident,” an insider reveals.


Reportedly, Huma, who was last seen in Dobaara: See Your Evil, has already given her consent to the project and now just modalities are being worked out. The actress will sign the film on dotted line soon. “In all likelihood, the movie will go on floors this year and an official announcement is expected soon,” the source adds.

Besides Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury's untitled film, Huma is also rumoured to be joining the cast of Sajid Nadiadwala's forthcoming comic-caper, Housefull 4.

Filmmaker Ayan Mukerji has stepped away from Yash Raj Films’ (YRF) highly anticipated action project Dhoom 4, reportedly due to creative differences. According to Bollywood Hungama, Mukerji’s vision for the film did not align with the studio’s direction, prompting him to withdraw from the project.

Mukerji, who was in discussions to direct the next instalment of the hit franchise—expected to star Ranbir Kapoor—was said to have limited control over the script, which was reportedly written by Shridhar Raghavan. The director, best known for Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Brahmastra, was keen on shaping the film creatively rather than simply executing an existing plan.
