Kapoor & Sons and Gehraiyaan director Shakun Batra is stepping into fresh territory with his next project. He has teamed up with Junglee Pictures for a comedy described as genre-defying. With his knack for emotionally layered stories, this film aims to offer audiences something entirely new.
Shakun Batra Teams Up With Junglee Pictures For His Next
A Pinkvilla report reveals that the concept grabbed Batra’s attention right away. He has been actively involved in shaping the script alongside writers Suprotim Sen Gupta and Kunal Aneja. The script is nearing completion, and casting discussions are expected to start soon. Filming is planned for 2025.
According to insiders, this project is an exciting new direction for Batra, who is known for adding depth to his stories. Many are curious to see how he will bring his unique touch to the comedy genre.
This Is Batra’s 1st Project With The Production Banner
This film marks Batra’s first collaboration with Junglee Pictures, the studio behind successful films like Raazi and Badhaai Ho. However, their recent release Ulajh, starring Janhvi Kapoor, struggled at the box office. This new project could be a turning point for the production house.
Batra’s last film, Gehraiyaan, explored love and betrayal and was released digitally. Before that, Kapoor & Sons was a commercial and critical hit, establishing Batra as a filmmaker who combines storytelling depth with audience appeal.
Alongside this comedy, Batra is also working on a film with Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions. Co-produced with Ayesha Devitre, the project is currently in the scripting phase, with casting expected to begin soon.
By teaming up with Shakun Batra, Junglee Pictures hopes for an opportunity to regain box-office momentum.
