In an exciting development for fans of content-driven cinema, acclaimed producer Manish Trehan has officially announced his next feature film project. Known for backing rooted and conversation-starting stories like Jamtara and Thode Door Thode Paas, Trehan is joining forces with writer-director Vipul Mehta for this new venture. The film will feature actors Anushka Kaushik and Sheetal Kale in pivotal lead roles, promising a fresh narrative perspective.
A Fresh Take on the Mystery Genre
The upcoming project is described as a super sleuth narrative that masterfully blends mystery with sharp clues and deep emotional undertones. Set against a suspenseful backdrop, the story will be driven by two women, aiming to offer audiences a unique and engaging viewing experience. While the female leads are locked in, the makers are keeping the identity of the male lead under wraps for now, hinting that its revelation will come with an element of surprise.
Further adding to the intrigue, the film's title and specific plot details are being closely guarded. The project is currently in the pre-production phase, with the team finalizing shooting schedules and additional casting before the cameras start rolling next year. The core intention, as expressed by the team, is to craft a story that resonates personally with viewers and lingers in their minds long after they leave the screen.
Producer's Vision and Star Power
Manish Trehan, in a statement, elaborated on his creative philosophy. "As a producer, I am drawn to stories that feel real. Honest emotions, relatable struggles and characters who stay with you matter to me," he said. Expressing confidence in his leading ladies, he added, "With Anushka Kaushik and Sheetal Kale leading this project, I believe their performances will resonate with audiences. My focus is on cinema that encourages reflection and conversation, and I am glad to bring this story forward."
Both actresses bring considerable talent and experience to the table. Sheetal Kale garnered significant acclaim and attention for her powerful portrayal of Nargis in the series Taali. Anushka Kaushik has steadily built a strong presence with notable performances in projects such as Crash Course, Ghar Waapsi, and Patna Shuklla.
What to Expect Next
The film is slated to go on floors next year. The production team has indicated that further announcements, including the official title, release plans, and the much-anticipated reveal of the male lead, will be made ahead of the commencement of the shoot. This project marks another step for Manish Trehan in his mission to support meaningful, character-driven stories that spark dialogue.
