Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali announced his next film, which will star singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh, Naseeruddin Shah, Sharvari Wagh and Vedang Raina. The project will go on floors in August, while it is slated for a Baisakhi 2026 release. The project's narrative follows the story of a boy and a girl, but also reflects broader themes of identity and a country's story.
