Ali Abbas Zafar, who directed multiple hit films has joined hands with Zee Studios and Himanshu Kishan Mehra to co-produce Khaali Peeli, to be directed by Maqbool Khan. The film will bring Ishaan Khatter and Ananya Panday together for the first time on the big screen. 

The makers have roped in Vishal-Shekhar to compose the music of the film, which will go on floor on September 11, 2019. Set in Mumbai, Khaali Peeli is a young, edgy roller-coaster ride that kick-starts one night, when a boy meets a girl. It’s slated to release on June 12, 2020.

Elaborating on the long-term association with Zee Studios, Ali Abbas Zafar commented, “Khaali Peeli’s process has been organic — Maqbool, Himanshu and I worked on the script for almost a year and when we thought it was completely baked, we took it to this enthusiastic young cast. I am happy that Zee Studios is producing this film with us, apart from the other massive film we are working on. We will announce our next big collaboration soon as well.” 

Shariq Patel, CEO, Zee Studios shared, “We at Zee Studios are delighted to partner with Ali as he commences his journey as a producer. It’s such an exciting script with tremendously promising talent attached to the film.”ST
