Jahnvi Kapoor to join forces with ‘Pagglait’ director Umesh Bist

Mumbai, Jul 19 (UNI) Actress Janhvi Kapoor is set to collaborate with "Pagglait" director Umesh Bist for an untitled feature film, marking their first venture together.
The yet-to-be-titled project will be produced by Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Motion Pictures in association with Guneet Monga's Sikhya Entertainment.
The project is expected to commence principal photography between October and November this year.
Known for his gripping, subtle yet powerful storytelling, Bist’s impressive work includes web shows “The Trial” Season 2, “Gyaarah Gyaarah” and “Kaun? Who Did It?”.
On the other hand, Kapoor has done a good amount of women-led films including “Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl”, “Roohi”, “Good Luck Jerry”, “Mili” and “Ulajh” so far. With Kapoor and Bist teaming up, the project can emerge as an unconventional affair with solid commercial value, according to Variety India.
