Filmfare exclusive reported last year that Laapataa Ladies fame Nitanshi Goel has signed Ekta Kapoor’s project. Now, we are getting to know that the actress has wrapped up shooting for the horror-comedy. While the makers are keeping key details tightly under wraps, the film is already generating intrigue for its unique premise and fresh pairing of genre and talent.
According to sources close to the production, Nitanshi will be seen in a completely new light, stepping into a character that blends innocence with a supernatural edge. The role is said to be layered and dynamic, allowing her to explore contrasting shades within the same narrative.
This marks the actress’ first foray into the horror-comedy space, a genre that has witnessed strong audience engagement in recent years with films like Stree. An official announcement from the makers is awaited.
Meanwhile, Filmfare also exclusively reported earlier that Abhay Verma and Nitanshi have reportedly been approached for an upcoming love story. It is being helmed by Ratna Sinha under the banner of Benaras Media. Filmfare’s exclusive source close to the development has confirmed that the project will be the second instalment of Sinha’s much-loved romantic drama Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana.
