Why does this story matter?
100% marks Khan's return to direction after about eight years. His last directed venture was 2014's Humshakals. In 2018, Khan stepped down as the director of Housefull 4 after several women from the industry including Mandana Karimi and Rachel White accused him of sexual harassment during the #MeToo movement. He was banned by the Indian Film and Television Director's Association for a year.
Meet the cast of the upcoming film
Besides Gill, the film also has John Abraham, Riteish Deshmukh, and Nora Fatehi in the lead roles. Gill shared a video teaser while announcing the movie and stated that they were eyeing a Diwali 2023 release. She captioned it, "A roller coaster comedy packed with action, music, and spies! We guarantee you a #100Percent entertainer!! Diwali 2023 just got bigger!! Are you ready??"
What did the teaser video show?
The teaser video introduced the actors who will be playing lead roles in the film. One can see words, "20% comedy, 20% romance, 20% music, 20% confusion, 20% action, together we're 100%," written on the video. It ends with a message, "A film about love, a film about marriage, a film about family, and spies." Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar are bankrolling the project.
