“Dear God, grant my request so that I may never deviate from doing good deeds. That I shall have no fear of the enemy when I go into battle and with determination I will be victorious.

And when the time comes, I should die fighting heroically on the field of battle,” she wrote, leaving fans intrigued and excited for what’s to come.

The film reunites Taapsee with acclaimed writer Kanika Dhillon, with whom she previously collaborated on “Haseen Dillruba” (2021) and its sequel “Phir Aayi Haseen Dillruba” (2024). Their creative partnership has consistently delivered compelling narratives, and “Gandhari” is no exception. Speculations are already rife that this new venture could evolve into a franchise, further solidifying Taapsee’s reputation as a powerhouse performer.
Directed by Devashish Makhija, known for his critically acclaimed works like “Ajji,” “Bhonsle,” and “Joram,” “Gandhari” promises to be an action-packed thriller. The film explores a profound theme centered on the bond between a mother and child, adding emotional depth to its thrilling premise. Makhija’s expertise in crafting intense narratives is expected to bring a unique vision to the project.
“Gandhari” marks the second film under Kanika Dhillon’s production banner, Kathha Pictures, following the success of “Do Patti,” which starred Kriti Sanon and Kajol. With a script penned by Dhillon herself, expectations for “Gandhari” are sky-high, especially given her track record with films like “Manmarziyaan” (2018) and “Rashmi Rocket” (2021).
Announced in September, the film has been described as an exhilarating action-thriller, combining gripping storytelling with Taapsee’s undeniable screen presence.
