After his acclaimed Bollywood debut, the courtroom drama Pink (2016), director Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury was in talks with Priyanka Chopra for his second outing. But that project didn’t go beyond a few discussions. Now, a source close to the director tells us that he is working on another script, which is almost ready. And for this movie, he has approached Huma Qureshi to be a part of the principal cast.
“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,” says the insider. Apparently, the Badlapur (2015) actress has already given her nod to the film. Its modalities are being worked out, and Huma will sign on the dotted line soon. “In all likelihood, the movie will go on floors this year and an official announcement is expected soon,” the source says.
