Imtiaz Ali and Mahaveer Jain Films are all set to produce Side Heroes, a heartfelt and hilarious sort of tribute to friendship, nostalgia and re-discovering joy.
We have now exclusively learned that the producers are planning to launch a newcomer as the female lead too in a proper way.
A source told, “Imtiaz Ali and Mahaveer Jain will introduce a new face as the lead actress in their coming of age friendship film Side Heroes. The film’s team auditioned several girls before finally zeroing in on the chosen actress.”
The source added, “It’s a dream of every aspiring actress in India to be launched in an Imtiaz Ali film. Hence, there’s going to be a huge curiosity about who has bagged the coveted part. As of now, the makers have kept her identity under wraps and plan to make an official announcement soon.”
Left Heroes stars Abhishek Banerjee, Aparshakti Khurana and Varun Sharma. It’s produced by Imtiaz Ali’s Window Seat Films and Mahaveer Jain Films, (Neetu Mahaveer Jain Mrighdeep Singh Lamba and Shikha Karan Ahluwalia), in case you were wondering. The film is directed by Ssanjay Tripaathy and penned by Siddarth Sen (the director of Good Luck Jerry) and Pankaj Matta.
