After 7 years, the ‘Heropanti’ stars- Tiger Shroff & Kriti Sanon– are all set to reunite for their upcoming film- ‘Ganapath: Part 1’.
Directed by Vikas Bahl, the action-packed film is scheduled to hit theatres on December 23, 2022.
Since the announcement of Kriti Sanon joining ‘Ganapath’, Kriti’s sister Nupur Sanon & Nora Fatehi’s names were being speculated to be the front runners of playing the second lead.
However, if this Pinkvilla report is to be believed, the role has now gone to Elli AvrRam. Yes, the ‘Malang’ actress has apparently been roped in to play the second female lead in the film.
“The hunt for a second female lead comes to an end as the makers have got Elli AvrRam to play a pivotal role in Ganapath’s story. The actress is expected to join the team by October end in the UK for the first schedule. Like Tiger and Kriti, even Elli will have a special look in the film and makers are working towards designing her appearance,” a source revealed to the portal.
Earlier, reports were claiming that the movie would be set in the 2090s. Now, the report suggests the story of ‘Ganapath’ will explore the post-covid world of the 2030s.
“The story of Ganapath unfolds in the 2030s and goes on till 2040. It’s a two-part franchise, spanning over 10 years of Ganapath’s life, and chronicles the highs and lows of his underground MMA career. The makers have incorporated changes in the script by reimagining the post-Covid world. The first schedule begins by Mid-October and will be wrapped up in January,” the source added.
While the movie is expected to be high on VFX and will take longer in post-production than usual, the makers are said to be planning on starting the visual effects right after the first schedule.
Apart from the UK, some portions will apparently be shot in Mumbai.
