Nayi Naveli: Anand L Rai's upcoming movie, Nayi Naveli, is generating significant online excitement. Recent reports indicate that Yami Gautam and Kriti Sanon have been approached for roles in the movie. If confirmed, this would be their first on-screen collaboration. For Yami Gautam, this marks her debut in an Anand L Rai film, while Kriti Sanon will be working with him for the second time, as they are already collaborating on Tere Ishk Mein.
According to a report in Mid-Day, “Rai has been particular about the story’s tone, he wants it to feel rooted in Indian folk tradition, but have a big-screen fantasy appeal. Casting Kriti was the first step because she has the acting prowess and star presence required for the role. She will be seen as part-folklore heroine, and part-mystical warrior. Now, they are in talks with Yami for a meaty role. The two actors haven’t shared screen space before, and that novelty will grab eyeballs.” The report further added, “Kriti is occupied with Tere Ishk Mein promotions throughout October, while Yami is tied up with Haq, which releases in early November. If Yami comes on board, the idea is to begin workshops and costume trials by November so that the shoot can start in December.”
