Actress Patralekhaa, who was last seen in horror-comedy Nanu Ki Jaanu (2018), has bagged renowned filmmaker Pradeep Sarkar’s next film. Titled Arranged Marriage, it will be a part of an anthology film.

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.”
