According to reports, Sarkar will move on to direct Arranged Marriage right after the release of his upcoming film Helicopter Eela. Starring Kajol in the lead role, the Ajay Devgn-produced film releases on 12th October.


Patralekhaa will play the female lead in the director Pradeep Sarkar’s film. She will start shooting for it by the month-end. It will be a 10-day start-to-finish schedule.

Talking about how she bagged the film, Patralekhaa says, “I got a call from dada’s office informing that he wanted to meet me. I am not sure if he has seen my work, but I am a big fan of his films. His Vidya Balan, Saif Ali Khan and Sanjay Dutt-starrer Parineeta is my all-time favourite. So, when he narrated the script, I was really excited to be a part of his vision.”
