Taapsee Pannu, on Monday, announced her next production venture, starring actors Ratna Pathak Shah, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Dia Mirza, and Sanjana Sanghi.
Directed by Tarun Dudeja, the film is set to revolve around four women, who embark on a road trip adventure to the highest motorable pass in the world, as they indulge in a journey of self-discovery.
Pannu stated that as a producer, she aims to make films that are meaningful and entertaining. “We have attempted to give audiences a visual experience that they have rarely seen on screen. Dhak Dhak narrates the story of four women, who realise that freedom has to be owned and never given. Viacom18 Studios has been a crucial part of my journey in the film industry from Chashme Baddoor, Shabaash Mithu, and now, to Dhak Dhak. I am sure that this ride will be an enriching one.”
The film will be jointly produced by Viacom18 Studios and Pannu’s Outsiders Films Productions, in collaboration with BLM Pictures. Dhak Dhak is co-written by Parijat Joshi and Tarun Dudeja.
Ajit Andhare, COO, Viacom18 Studios stated, “Dhak Dhak is a heart-warming story of four women undertaking a trip and breaking out of their cocoons to discover themselves, through this journey of introspection and adventure. This was aperfect script that resonated well with the core of our storytelling.”
The film is now under production and will hit cinema screens in 2023.
