Recently, Vivek Oberoi announced that he will be foraying into production and will be bankrolling Vishal Mishra’s upcoming films. The films titled Rosie: The Saffron Chapter and Iti: Can You Solve Your Own Murder also have Girish Johar, Kussum Arora, Prerna V Arora, Reshabh D Saraf, Garauv Bhatia, and Keyur Pandya’s Mandiraa Entertainment on board as producers. While the characters of Iti have been gradually revealed in the past weeks, the most important announcement regarding Rosie is out now.
Palak Tiwari, the daughter of Kasautii Zindagii Kay soap fame Shweta Tiwari will be playing the titular role of Rosie in the thriller film.
Two posters featuring Palak were released for the purpose. In one poster she’s seen seated at an office with her wireless headset. Her blue eyes and mysterious expression give out eerie vibes.
In the second poster, we find her face to be upside down, with one half in monochrome and the other in a normal tone. The monochrome side also has cobwebs and a cracked glass effect on it, while the other side is left normal.
We’ve been waiting for a long time now! Happy to have #PalakTiwariAsRosie.@vivekoberoi #PrernaVArora @mishravishal @palaktiwarii @IKussum @d_reshabh @u_dhanesh @ikeyurpandya @sanjeetyermal @RosieIsComing #Rosie https://t.co/goSKFOHSvB
