Kareena, Ayushmann in Meghna’s film on Hyderabad encounter

Bollywood A-listers Kareena Kapoor Khan and Ayushmann Khurrana are reportedly teaming up for director Meghna Gulzar’s next hard-hitting project. Titled “Daayra,” the film is based on the controversial 2019 encounter case in Hyderabad, where four rape suspects were killed by police officials.

According to reports, the script is locked and both actors are in advanced talks. Deeply affected by the case’s details, they have verbally agreed to the project. Final contracts are being finalized, aiming for a late 2024 shoot and a 2025 release.

This collaboration has generated buzz. Kareena and Ayushmann are known for their powerful performances, and Meghna Gulzar has a reputation for sensitive portrayals of social issues. Her previous film, “Talvar,” explored a complex court case.

“Daayra” is expected to be a thought-provoking film. It will likely reignite discussions about the encounter and the issue of police brutality in India. The sensitive portrayal Meghna is aiming for will be crucial in navigating this real-life tragedy.
