Audiences will see Taapsee Pannu as a fierce mom on a mission, a stark contrast to her previous role as Rani Kashyap. Gandhari also marks the second collaboration between Netflix and Kathha Pictures.
The Pink actress expressed that there is a unique creative synergy whenever she and Kanika work together on a film. Speaking about Gandhari, she noted that the project allows them to explore deeper emotional layers, and she is excited to portray such an intense character. Reflecting on her past work, she mentioned that it had been nine years since she last did action, and she had been waiting for a script that would push her in new ways.
After her role as a spy, she sought something more profound, and Gandhari, with its compelling story of a mother seeking revenge, felt like the perfect opportunity. She added that collaborating with Netflix and Kathha Pictures offers the chance to create bold, distinctive, and meaningful stories. Pannu also shared that her work with Netflix has been rewarding, as it helps reach a wider audience who shares a passion for storytelling.
Kanika Dhillon remarked that after the overwhelming love for their film Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba, beginning Gandhari with Taapsee felt like a creative reunion. She explained that the film delves into the fierce and unconditional love of a mother, emphasizing the danger of crossing a protective mother, likening it to provoking a tigress.
Dhillon highlighted that this is the first time she and Taapsee are collaborating on a raw and intense action thriller, and they are excited to bring forth this powerful story of revenge and redemption. She also mentioned that working with Netflix has provided them the creative freedom to push boundaries and present the story authentically. She expressed enthusiasm for the audience to experience this emotionally charged, action-packed thriller.
The film features Pannu in the lead role, with Kanika Dhillon serving as both the writer and producer. Directed by Devashish Makhija, the project is produced under the banner of Kathha Pictures. The release date of Gandhari is yet to be announced. Stay tuned with Pinkvilla for more updates!
