Going by the poster, the project appears to be female-centric.

Shetty Kundra also shared a short poem to describe the personality of her character Sukhee. She will play the role of a fearless and chirpy woman who aspires to have an adventurous life, but is stuck in her daily routine.

"Thodi bedhadak si hoon main,
Meri zindagi hai khuli kitaab,
Duniya besharam kehti hai to kya,
Kisi se kam nahin hain mere khwaab!"

The movie will be directed by Sonal Joshi, well known for the 2011 film 'Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster'. Joshi has earlier served as an assistant director on films like 'Dhoom 3' and 'Jab Harry Met Sejal' among others.

It will be produced by Abundantia Entertainment and T-Series. Vikram, the founder of Abundantia Entertainment is known for producing strong female-centric films like 'Sherni', 'Shakuntala Devi', and more.

Shetty Kundra took to her Insta Story to share that she was headed to Chandigarh for the first schedule of the movie. She said that she was catching the flight at 5:30AM.

Other details about 'Sukhee' are still under wraps.

The actress was last seen in 'Hungama 2' (2021), which marked her return to the screen after 'Apne' in 2007.

The 'Dhadkan' star will be next seen in the action romantic comedy 'Nikamma', co-starring Abhimanyu Dassani and Shirley Setia.
