Imtiaz Ali to cast a fresh face as the female lead in his next

Moving on from the debacle of his last directorial, Jab Harry Met Sejal, renowned filmmaker Imtiaz Ali is gearing up to commence work on his next film. Toplined by Shahid Kapoor, who starred in his previous hit Jab We Met, the film will have a strong female character, just like all Imtiaz Ali movies.

While Shahid is onboard from the very beginning, Ali has yet not announced the name of his female lead. The latest we hear that he has made his mind to introduce a new face to portray the female part in the movie.


A report, published in one of the premier trade magazines, says that after launching the likes of the likes of Ayesha Takia in Socha Na Tha, Giselli Monteiro in Love Aaj Kal and Nargis Fakhri in Rockstar, Ali is looking at casting a fresh face opposite Shahid Kapoor in his next film.

An official announcement is expected to be made soon.

'Resident Evil' trailer repositions the franchise around Austin Abrams’ civilian lead

Highlights

  • Austin Abrams leads the reboot as an ordinary courier caught in chaos
  • Zach Cregger directs a new story with no legacy characters
  • Franchise worth over £950 million globally takes a more grounded approach

An unlikely lead at the centre of horror

The new trailer for Resident Evil shifts the focus away from seasoned fighters and places Austin Abrams at the heart of the outbreak. Playing a courier who stumbles into a crisis in Raccoon City, Abrams represents a different kind of protagonist for the franchise.

There are no familiar heroes this time. Instead, the story follows someone with no experience of survival or combat, caught in a situation that rapidly spirals beyond control. The approach changes the tone, turning the narrative into something more immediate and less predictable.
