Sidharth-Parineeti to begin shooting for their next film in Uttar Pradesh

Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra have reunited after almost four years for the Ekta Kapoor- Shailesh R Singh produced, Prashant Singh directed, yet untitled film. The film will mark the debut of the director who has assisted Aanand L Rai on ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ and ‘Raanjhanaa’. Sidharth and Parineeti, who were seen together in the 2014 romcom, ‘Hasee Toh Phasee’, will begin shooting for their upcoming film in Uttar Pradesh from next week.

A source close to the film informed Mumbai Mirror, “The entire film is set in Uttar Pradesh, where the first schedule will take off, and Bihar. In this film, Sidharth and Parineeti will be seen in desi avatars and the actors have already started prep for the film, which includes getting the Bihari accent right.”

Earlier, producer Ekta Kapoor had told Mumbai Mirror that she was looking forward to the film. “That’s my ‘Grease Lightning’ (a 1977 American biographical film of champion race driver Wendell Scott) in today’s times with Sid. Set in a small town of North India, it’s my most massy film,” she said.

Parineeti and Sidharth have recently had an appearance together at Akash Ambani and Shloka Mehta’s engagement in June.
