Sidharth Malhotra & Parineeti Chopra to shoot their next in Lucknow

First seen together in the 2014 hit film Hasee Toh Phasee, Bollywood actors Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra are joining forces once again for a yet-to-be-titled film. The movie will be jointly produced by Ekta Kapoor and Shailesh R Singh.

The latest we hear that the team is set to begin production from next week. The entire cast and crew will travel to Lucknow, a city in India, to commence the shoot. Besides Uttar Pradesh, some portions of the movie will be shot in Bihar.


“The entire film is set in Uttar Pradesh, where the first schedule will take off, and Bihar. In this film, Sidharth and Parineeti will be seen in desi avatars and the actors have already started prep for the film, which includes getting the Bihari accent right,” divulges a source close to the development.

The untitled film will be directed by Prashant Singh. Prashant has previously assisted Aanand L Rai on Tanu Weds Manu (2011) and on Raanjhanaa (2013). It will mark his directorial debut in Bollywood.

Set shortly after season two, the story takes place before Vecna’s arrival and before Robin Buckley became part of the core group.
