Actor Vicky Kaushal is teaming up with former Miss World Manushi Chhillar in an upcoming comedy film produced by Yash Raj Films (YRF).
"Manushi has been signed opposite Vicky for the comedy that YRF is producing. She is an outsider but she has already made her mark by winning the Miss World 2017 crown, 17 years after Priyanka Chopra won the award and she got 'Prithviraj' on her merit as she prepared hard and delivered a fantastic audition," a source told IANS.
"Further details about the film cannot be shared currently," the source added.
What we do know is the film is an important part of YRF's Project 50, which promises several mega announcements.
An Independence Day announcement by YRF stated that Aditya Chopra, on the 88th birth anniversary of his father, late filmmaker Yash Chopra, on September 27, will be announcing a massive slate of projects backed by their production house, Yash Raj Films (YRF).
