Indian film star Taapsee Pannu and writer-producer Kanika Dhillon are set to collaborate once again on the Netflix original action-thriller film, “Gandhari.” The project will be helmed by acclaimed director Devashish Makhija, known for his previous work, including the festival circuit favorite “Joram.”
According to Netflix, “Gandhari” will feature a compelling narrative centered around relentless determination and intense personal stakes, woven into a fabric of high-octane action and mystery. Pannu will portray a fierce mother on a mission, marking a dramatic shift in her roles.
This venture represents the second collaboration between Netflix and Dhillon’s Kathha Pictures, following their successful project “Do Patti.” It also continues the fruitful partnership between Pannu and Dhillon, which began with Anurag Kashyap’s “Manmarziyaan” (2018) and includes the Netflix films “Haseen Dillruba” (2021) and its sequel “Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba” (2024), ZEE5 Global’s “Rashmi Rocket” (2021), and Rajkumar Hirani’s “Dunki” (2023), featuring Shah Rukh Khan.
Ruchikaa Kapoor Sheikh, Netflix India’s director of original films, expressed enthusiasm about the new project: “‘Gandhari’ promises to be an emotionally charged action thriller with significant personal stakes. This collaboration with Kanika Dhillon and Taapsee Pannu follows the success of ‘Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba.’ We are thrilled to present this unique and engaging story to our audience.”
Taapsee Pannu reflected on the project, stating, “There’s a special kind of magic when Kanika and I work together. ‘Gandhari’ will explore new emotional depths and challenge me in ways I haven’t experienced in a long time. Returning to action with a script as compelling as this, especially one featuring a vengeful mother, feels like a perfect fit. Our collaboration with Netflix allows us to tell bold and impactful stories, reaching a global audience.”
Kanika Dhillon echoed this sentiment, saying, “Following the success of ‘Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba,’ reuniting with Taapsee for ‘Gandhari’ feels like coming home creatively. This film delves into a mother’s fierce love and unyielding resolve. We’re excited to present this raw, action-packed thriller, and Netflix’s support gives us the freedom to push creative boundaries.”
“Gandhari” promises to be a powerful addition to Pannu and Dhillon’s growing list of successful collaborations, and fans are eagerly anticipating its release.
