A mad-cap comedy next

After shooting for Raid 2 with Ajay Devgn and Mandala Murders, Vaani Kapoor is set to begin work on a coming-of-age dramedy about a girl and her family. Helmed by Navjot Gulati, the film, titled Badtameez Gill, is set in Bareilly and London. Aparshakti Khurana plays Vaani’s brother, and Paresh Rawal essays the role of her father in the movie that goes on floors in Bareilly this week. Sharing that she was their first choice for the role, producers Nickky and Vicky Bhagnani said, “Vaani is perfect for the part in every way. She hasn’t been seen in out-and-out comedies or  family entertainers. She will showcase a totally different side to her acting in our film that has its heart in the right place. The role was written keeping someone like her in mind.” Stating that they needed a gorgeous, confident girl, who could be a riot for her family and friends, the duo maintained that Vaani is this person in real life. They added, “When we met her, we knew we had found our lead! She will light up the screen with her presence, and hopefully we will entertain a lot of people with our film.”
