Vaani Kapoor to Star in Lead Role for Upcoming Comedy-Drama “Badtameez Gill”

Award-winning actress Vaani Kapoor gears up for a fresh venture in the world of modern-age comedy-drama

Vaani Kapoor, known for her breakout performance in the romantic comedy “Shuddh Desi Romance” in 2013, is poised to take center stage once again in the upcoming film “Badtameez Gill.” Following her notable appearance in “Shamshera” alongside Ranbir Kapoor, Kapoor is ready to lead in this new cinematic endeavor.

After earning acclaim for her portrayal of a transgender woman in “Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui” opposite Ayushmann Khurrana, Kapoor is now set to tackle a leading role in “Badtameez Gill.” The film, a coming-of-modern-age comedy-drama, promises to be a captivating journey set in the contrasting locales of Bareilly and London.

Joining Kapoor on this adventure are Aparshakti Khurana, known for his role in “Luka Chuppi,” playing her brother, and veteran Bollywood actor Paresh Rawal, portraying Kapoor’s father. Directed by Navjot Gulati, whose previous works include “Running Shaadi” and “Ginny Weds Sunny,” “Badtameez Gill” is anticipated to be a delightful blend of drama and comedy.

Produced by Nickky Bhagnani, Viicky Bhagnani, Ankur Takrani, Vinay Aggarwal, and Akshad Ghone, the film is set to commence filming in the first week of May. Speaking about the project, Nickky and Viicky expressed their confidence in Kapoor’s ability to bring depth to the character, stating, “Vaani Kapoor is headlining our ambitious project Badtameez Gill that is set to go on floors in the first week of May! Vaani was the first and the only choice, and she is perfect for the part in every way. Vaani will showcase a totally different side to her acting in our film that has its heart in the right place.”
