One of the most loved films of 2017 was
the Akshay Kumar-starrer Toilet Ek Prem
Katha. It was directed by a relatively
unknown Shree Narayan Singh and now
he's become a director to watch out for. His
direction skills in this film, dealing with
importance of toilets, was loved and it was
no wonder that he soon bagged his next
film as well. Titled Batti Gul Meter Chalu, he
managed to get Shahid Kapoor as the male
lead of the film.
The film is all set to go on floors on January
19, 2018 and speculation has been going
around sometime about who will be the
leading lady in the film. Just a few days ago,
Ileana D'Cruz's name was tossed around.
But we have found that it's none other than
Vaani Kapoor who will be seen opposite
Shahid Kapoor in this social drama. This will
be the third film of the actress after Shuddh
Desi Romance and the 2016 romcom
Befikre, both of which were with Yash Raj
Films. She's doing one film, again with
Aditya Chopra's production house, which
stars Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff. Vaani
Kapoor however will start shooting for this
film after completing Batti Gul Meter Chalu.
Interestingly, Shahid Kapoor was the first
choice for Shuddh Desi Romance and due
to date issues, he opted out of the film.
Shahid and Vaani couldn't romance each
other then but would finally do so now in
Batti Gul Meter Chalu.
The film touches upon two aspects first,
the significance of electricity and life
without it and second, what happens to a
common man when he is faced with
humongous bills. It is also expected to be a
courtroom drama. Batti Gul Meter Chalu is
produced by Bhushan Kumar, Prernaa
Arora, Arjun N Kapoor and Krishan kumar
and it releases on August 31, 2018.
