Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor Khan, who recently marked 25 years in the Hindi film industry, has commenced shooting for her 68th film, Daayra. Directed by Meghna Gulzar and featuring Prithviraj Sukumaran, the film is poised to be an engaging crime-drama thriller. Kareena shared the update on Instagram, posting a behind-the-scenes video from a script-reading session along with a photoshoot featuring her co-star. She captioned the post, “Day 1, 68th film Daayra with the most amazing @meghnagulzar and @therealprithvi … Send love and blessings.” Daayra is characterized as a powerful narrative that examines the intricacies of contemporary society while addressing the ongoing battle between crime, punishment, and justice.
Both Kareena and Prithviraj are anticipated to infuse their characters with depth and intensity, making this collaboration one of the year’s most eagerly awaited projects. Earlier this year, Kareena expressed her enthusiasm for the film, calling it a “dream come true” to partner with Meghna Gulzar, known for her acclaimed works like Talvar and Raazi. She also highlighted the opportunity to work with the talented Prithviraj as a notable aspect of the project. Daayra is expected to provide a cinematic experience that both challenges and inspires viewers. For Meghna Gulzar, this film represents her next directorial effort following the success of Sam Bahadur. Backed by Junglee Pictures, Daayra aims to be both socially relevant and a compelling entertainment piece.
Since her debut in J.P. Dutta’s Refugee in 2000, Kareena has consistently reinvented herself through various roles, reaffirming her status as one of Bollywood’s most versatile and enduring actresses.
