Months after Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana walked out of Meghna Gulzar’s upcoming film opposite Kareena Kapoor Khan, the ‘Raazi’ filmmaker has got Malayalam actor Prithviraj Sukumaran on board for the same to play a cop. Tentatively titled ‘Daayra’, the film is reportedly based on a true and disturbing incident.

Prithviraj Sukumaran connected with the script

A source close to the production informed India Today, "After Ayushmann Khurrana and Sidharth Malhotra exited `Daayra` due to scheduling conflicts, Prithviraj was approached. He connected with the script and the film`s message. His role is essential to driving the narrative, while Kareena`s character will show her in a new light, exuding strength, vulnerability, and intuition."
