Bollywood filmmaker Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, who is known for her slice-of-life films Nil Battey Sannata (2016) and Bareilly Ki Barfi (2017), has announced her next project. Titled Panga, her new movie stars Kangana Ranaut, Jassie Gill and Neena Gupta in principal roles.
Panga will be an emotional movie which revolves around a new-age family. It will show the power and importance of a family that stands by you in your happiness, success and failure.
The film features Kangana Ranaut in the role of a Kabaddi player. It will be the first time when the three-time National Film Award-winning actress is doing a sports-based movie, and she is quite psyched up about it.
“When Ashwiny narrated the film’s story, I was completely moved. My family has been my pillar of strength and (they) have always stood by me through thick and thin. I could really relate to the emotions of the film. Plus, Ashwiny is known for her slice-of-life films and I loved her recent work in Bareilly Ki Barfi. Panga is even more special for me as, for the first time, I will be playing the role of a National-level Kabaddi player. That’s going to be challenging for sure! I am looking forward to some exciting times with Ashwiny and the Fox Star team,” Kangana said in a statement.
To be produced by Fox Star Studios, Panga will start rolling soon.
