Pinkvilla has learnt that Zoya will collaborate with Ananya Panday for her next. This is the first time that the actor and filmmaker will be collaborating for a project. “The film is presently in the pre-production stage so nothing much is known about it except for the fact that Zoya and Ananya have agreed to work together. Ananya is a big fan of Zoya and is looking forward to working with the filmmaker. The movie is expected to roll sometime this year,” informs a source close to the development. An official announcement of the film should be expected soon.
