Amyra Dastur to pair opposite Rajkummar Rao in Mental Hai Kya

Actress Amyra Dastur, who was last seen in Kaalakaandi, has been roped in to play a pivotal part in Ekta Kapoor’s upcoming film Mental Hai Kya. The film also features National award-winning actors Rajkummar Rao and Kangana Ranaut in lead roles. Dastur will be seen in the role of Rao’s love interest in the movie.

When asked about the plot and characters three actors play in the movie, a source said, "The makers of the film do not want to give out much about the plot and the characters at this moment, but I can just tell you that there will be an actor who will be playing Kangana's partner. So, Rajkummar and Kangana will not be playing a couple in Mental Hai Kya which is essentially a psychological thriller."


The psychological thriller film will be directed by National Award-winner Prakash Kovelamudi. It is being made under the banners of Balaji Motion Pictures and Karma Media. The regular shooting has begun and the makers are looking at releasing the film at the end of the year.
