Sanya Malhotra, Saba Azad join Bobby in Anurag Kashyap's next
Anurag Kashyap has reportedly commenced shooting for his latest thriller in Mumbai, with Bobby Deol in the lead role. This follows last month's announcement of Deol's participation in the yet-to-be-titled project. Additionally, a recent casting report by Peeping Moon suggests that Deol will be joined by Sanya Malhotra, Joju George, and Saba Azad. All three will play crucial roles alongside Deol, with the plot revolving around his character.
Why does this story matter?
Malhotra previously collaborated with Deol in Love Hostel, while this will be Malayalam actor George's debut in Hindi cinema. Azad, recognized for her role in SonyLIV's series Rocket Boys, is looking to target mass cinema with her role. Currently, the plot details remain undisclosed but it is known that the movie is a hard-hitting thriller based on a sensitive true event.
