A Dynamic Creative Partnership Reignites
After delivering a series of standout cinematic successes that reshaped contemporary storytelling, the formidable duo of actor Taapsee Pannu and writer-producer Kanika Dhillon reunites for their next ambitious project, Gandhari. Following the popularity of the Haseen Dilruba franchise, the pair is set to explore darker, grittier territory with a high-intensity revenge drama packed with raw action.
A Proven Track Record of Hits
The Taapsee–Kanika collaboration has previously produced critically acclaimed and audience-favorite films such as the bold romance drama Manmarziyaan, the cult pulp-thriller Haseen Dillruba, its gripping sequel Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba, and the inspiring sports drama Rashmi Rocket. With Gandhari, the duo aims to raise the stakes further and deliver a fresh cinematic experience.
A Milestone Production for Kathha Pictures
Gandhari marks the second production under Kanika Dhillon’s banner, Kathha Pictures. After the strong success of her debut production Do Patti, which became one of Netflix’s most-watched titles, Kanika continues to champion bold, female-led narratives. The new film represents a shift from psychological mystery into the realm of high-octane revenge drama.
Taapsee Pannu’s Transformative New Avatar
Stepping away from her recent roles, Taapsee Pannu has undergone an intense physical transformation for Gandhari. Positioned as a revenge action-thriller, the film delves into the fierce, protective bond between a mother and her child, blending emotional depth with powerful action sequences.
Voices Behind the Vision
“Taapsee and I have always shared a creative sync that allows us to push boundaries,” says Kanika Dhillon. “With Gandhari, we aren’t just telling a story; we are exploring the ferocity of a mother’s love through a lens of raw action that’s unlike anything we’ve done before.”
Direction, Platform and Release
Directed by Devashish Makhija, Gandhari is slated for a major global release on Netflix. The film promises a gripping blend of high-octane action, intense drama, and deeply emotional storytelling, making it one of the most anticipated collaborations in the coming slate.
