April 14, 2025: April 14, 2025, Kareena Kapoor Khan took to Instagram to officially announce her next big project — Daayra, a powerful new film directed by acclaimed filmmaker Meghna Gulzar. Starring opposite the versatile Prithviraj Sukumaran, the film promises a riveting cinematic experience with a hard-hitting narrative.
“I’ve always said that I’m a director’s actor… and this time I cannot wait to work with one of the finest directors we have, @meghnagulzar, & alongside the magnificent @therealprithvi, whose work I deeply admire 🫶🏼,” Kareena shared with excitement.
Helmed by the director of Raazi and Sam Bahadur, Daayra is already creating major buzz in the industry. While the film is reportedly inspired by the 2019 Hyderabad rape and murder case, details remain under wraps. The 2019 incident, which shook the nation, involved the tragic death of a 26-year-old veterinary doctor in Shamshabad. Though unconfirmed, insiders reveal that Meghna Gulzar has spent years researching the subject for this deeply emotional and socially driven story.
This marks Meghna’s first collaboration with both Kareena and Prithviraj Sukumaran, a pairing that’s already being hailed as one of the most powerful onscreen duos to look forward to in 2025.
Kareena, last seen in Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again, continues to redefine her filmography with intense, character-driven roles. Prithviraj, hot off the success of Empuraan (the sequel to Lucifer), brings his South Indian cinematic depth to the Hindi film audience, making this crossover collaboration all the more exciting.
