Playing a Punjabi girl

Ekta Kapoor had roped-in Disha Patani for her next project, which will be a female-led romantic comedy. The film will be directed by Ashima Chibber, who earlier helmed Mere Dad Ki Maruti. The script of this film has been written by Dream Girl director Raaj Shaandilyaa.

Disha Patani will be seen as a small-town Punjabi girl in this Ekta Kapoor’s film. Not many know that before Dream Girl was pitched, Raaj Shaandilyaa had narrated several scripts to Ekta Kapoor. She had loved the script, but said yes only after the success of Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer. However, the filmmaker has only written the script and won’t be involved in the creative or casting process, as he is busy with his next project.

Meanwhile, Disha Patani has wrapped up her next film Malang, which is being helmed by Mohit Suri. It is scheduled for February 2020 release.
