Ace writer-producer Kanika Dhillon recently shared some glimpses from the sets of her upcoming actioner titled Gandhari led by Taapsee Pannu also starring Ishwak Singh. The movie reimagines the bounds of maternal love with high octane action. Since, the film has heavy action sequences actress Taapsee Pannu is performing all the stunts on her own.
Kanika appreciated Taapsee for acing the action sequences flawlessly, she shared, “They were shooting a tense sequence, which involved a precarious wall climb that Taapsee’s character had to do. Without using any body double, or any rehearsals (while due safety precautions were taken) — Taapsee has climbed up that wall like a panther, in one take! I happened to be on set that day, and as the shot cut, the whole set burst into thunderous applause!”
She further added, “It was quite impressive to watch, Taapsee has a certain litheness and agility to her that makes her the perfect casting choice for Gandhari. She’s going to surprise everyone with this kind of character that she’s never played before. With Ishwak joining the cast, he has brought to the film a fresh wave of talent and layering to the story, and I can’t wait for the audiences to see the magic that these two have created on screen, under the wonderful direction of Devashish Makhija.”
Gandhari marks the sixth collaboration between Kanika and Taapsee Pannu post their successful movies like Manmarziyaan, Haseen Dilruba, Phir Aaayi Haseen Dilruba and more. The high-octane revenge drama is produced by Kanika’s Kathha Pictures will stream exclusively on Netflix.
