Sudhir Mishra and Anubhav Sinha were recently in the news for casting National Award winner Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Badhaai Do (2022) actress, Bhumi Pednekar in a film together. Sudhir is going to direct the film Afwaah, which is being produced by Bhushan Kumar's T-Series and Anubhav Sinha's Benaras Mediaworks. Now we hear that the makers have added yet another name to the cast in the form of Taapsee Pannu.
A well-placed industry source exclusively tells a media portal, “Yes Taapsee has also been roped in for Afwaah. She will be joining Nawaz and Bhumi as part of the cast. Interestingly, there will still be one more name added in the coming days.”
Ask the source for more details about the venture and he adds, “The film will feature three female leads, one being Bhumi, the second Taapsee, and the third is yet to be locked. As for the film itself, Afwaah will be an anthology of sorts.”
Taapsee and Bhumi were seen together in Saand Ki Aankh (2019), which performed well at the box office and both actresses were highly praised by critics.
The film already has two female leads, Bhumi Pednekar and Taapsee Pannu, and we hear that the makers are still looking for two more actresses. According to the source, “Afwaah is a four female lead film, with Nawazuddin playing the male lead. With Bhumi and Taapsee on board, the makers are now looking to lock the remaining two leads in the coming weeks.”
Afwaah, which is said to be an anthology, is set to begin production soon and will be shot in Alwar, Rajasthan, on a large scale.
