“Parineeti is going to work with Imtiaz Ali for the first time in her career as the heroine in the ace director’s next, ‘Chamkila’. It is a huge moment for her because she has always wanted to creatively collaborate with the visionary director.”
– a source informed the daily.
“She has to get into prep immediately for the shoot and unfortunately due to this development, she won’t be able to shoot for ‘Animal’ as there is a major overlap of dates between the two films. So, RK and Pari fans will have to wait a little bit longer for a new project to bring them together on screen.”

On the work front, Parineeti has Sooraj Barjatya’s Uunchai, co-starring Amitabh Bachchan, Boman Irani and Anupam Kher and Ribhu Dasgupta’s (of The Girl On The Train fame) yet-to-be-titled film.
