Aditi Rao Hydari, last seen in London Paris New York, is prepared to share screen space with Irrfan Khan for a movie directed by Shivam Nair and produced by Anjum Rizvi. The film is a romantic comedy set in Lucknow.
Irrfan and Aditi have earlier worked together in Sudhir Mishra's Yeh Saali Zindagi but they weren't paired together.
When asked, director Shivam Nair said, "Irrfan plays a member of Saraswati Brass band that goes for weddings in Lucknow and he keeps on checking and wooing girls attending the marriage. People will see him in a gentle role after a protracted gap. I always had Irrfan in mind even while writing the script."
About this unusual pair of Aditi with Irrfan, the director says, "We were on the lookout for a tender girl to play a personality of a street smart girl. Aditi suits the nature perfectly. The pair could be probably the most highlights of the film."
The film is yet untitled and slated to move on floors soon. It is going to be shot in Lucknow and can have an overly earthy rustic language and flavor of Lucknow.
