After the success of Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba, Taapsee Pannu is once again reuniting with Kanika Dhillon. On Tuesday, the actress announced a new film titled Gandhari. The action-thriller film is set to explore a different kind of love — the profound bond between mother and child.

Written by Kanika Dhillon, celebrated for creating unforgettable characters in the Haseen Dillruba film franchise, Gandhari promises a riveting storyline filled with relentless determination and intense personal stakes. It is set against the backdrop of gripping mystery and high-powered action. In the film, Taapsee Pannu will be seen as a fierce mom on a mission. It will be released on Netflix.

Talking about her reunion with Kanika Dhillon, Taapsee Pannu said, “There’s a special kind of magic that happens when Kanika and I come together to work on a film.” The actress further talked about the film and added, “With Gandhari, we’re venturing into new emotional depths, and I’m thrilled to explore this intense character. I did action 9 years ago, and I’ve been waiting for a script that would bring me back to it and challenge me in new ways. After playing a spy, I was searching for something deeper, and Gandhari, with its powerful story of a mother driven by revenge, felt like the perfect fit. Collaborating with Netflix and Kathha Pictures allows us to craft bold, unique, and impactful stories. Working with Netflix has always been rewarding, as it enables us to reach a broader audience who shares our passion for filmmaking.”

Kanika Dhillon also shared, “After the immense love for our film Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba, starting Gandhari with Taapsee feels like a creative homecoming. The film dives deep into the essence of a mother’s unwavering love and ferocity. Don’t mess with a tigress’ cub, because she will destroy you! Taapsee and I are coming together for a fiery- raw -action thriller for the first time! And we are excited to bring this powerful tale of revenge and redemption! Netflix has given us the freedom to push creative boundaries and present this story in its truest form. I’m very excited for our audiences to experience this emotionally charged, action-packed – thrilling saga – Gandhari!”

Ruchikaa Kapoor Sheikh, Director of Original Films at Netflix India, said, “Gandhari is a gripping emotional story with heightened personal stakes. This one-of-a-kind action thriller is a testament to our commitment to delivering stories that are both unique and deeply engaging. We are excited to reunite with the dynamic duo, Kanika Dhillon and Taapsee Pannu, following the tremendous success of Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba. Audiences have loved their work and we are eager for them to experience the intriguing depth of this new story.”
