Described as a hard-hitting narrative that explores crime, justice, and the grey areas in between, Daayra brings together actors from different industries to depict the complexities of latest society. Marking her twenty fifth yr in Hindi cinema, Kareena Kapoor Khan shared her thoughts on the brand new project and said, “As I have fun 25 incredible years in Hindi cinema, I’m thrilled to announce my next film, Daayra, with the incredible Meghna Gulzar within the director’s chair. I’ve long admired her work, from Talvar to Raazi, and to be directed by her is a dream come true. The chance to collaborate with the talented Prithviraj can also be a highlight, and I’m drawn to the film’s daring, thought-provoking narrative. Daayra guarantees to be a cinematic experience that challenges and inspires, and I look ahead to working with Meghna, Prithviraj, and the team at Junglee Pictures on this powerful, timely film.”
Prithviraj Sukumaran, who recently helmed the Malayalam hit L2: Empuraan, takes on one other major Hindi-language role with Daayra. “When the script was narrated to me, I knew I had to do that. I used to be thoroughly absorbed by my character and what he brings to the table because the story progresses. It’s layered and will certainly connect with the masses. Working with Meghna Gulzar’s vision, Junglee Pictures and an actor like Kareena Kapoor will probably be an excellent collaborative experience. Daayra is story that’s certainly one of a form and digs deep into the societal norms, world of crime and punishment that unfolds,” the actor-filmmaker stated.
Director Meghna Gulzar elaborated on the film’s theme and narrative focus. “Daayra is a story that compels you to reflect on the society we live in and its institutions that pilot us. With co-writers Sima and Yash, unravelling the greys throughout the black and white, was each difficult and exciting. And as Kareena and Prithviraj bring the lead characters to life, the narrative dynamics are all set to raise further! It’s all the time creatively gratifying to collaborate with Junglee Pictures, known for backing stories which can be compelling and demand telling,” she shared
Speaking on behalf of the production house, Amrita Pandey, CEO of Junglee Pictures added, “We’re so very proud to be making Daayra. This story couldn’t be in higher hands than Meghna’s. Her exceptional craft, deep sensitivity, and knack for mixing entertainment and substance make her the best collaborator to bring this vision to life. We’re fortunate to have a dream casting with Kareena and Prithviraj taking up the lead roles. Yash and Sima who’ve co-written the film together with Meghna, have created such a cinematic screenplay that adeptly tackles the complexities of our time. We will not wait to embark on this journey.”
Daayra is co-written by Meghna Gulzar, Yash, and Sima, and marks Meghna’s next directorial enterprise after the 2023 biopic Sam Bahadur. The film is predicted to delve into layered themes surrounding law, societal norms, and the shifting nature of justice, positioning it as a up to date crime-drama that reflects current issues.
