Yash Raj Films’ GUNDAY started its first shooting schedule in Mumbai.
Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar and Produced by Aditya Chopra, the film stars Ranveer Singh & Arjun Kapoor, as Bikram and Bala, along with Priyanka Chopra and Irrfan Khan, in lead roles. During Calcutta’s most unsettled times in the early 70’s, the inseparable Bikram and Bala, grew from being small time, inconsequential wagon breakers and coal thieves, to becoming the biggest and most powerful black marketing mafia-men. As the infamy of these two renegades spread far and wide... the People of this sprawling city started calling these two happy-go-lucky rebels... GUNDAY.
The film is scheduled for a late 2013 release.
After the highly successful Mere Brother ki Dulhan, director Ali Abbas Zafar is ready to go on floor with his next YRF project, “GUNDAY”. Produced by Aditya Chopra, the film stars Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor in lead roles.
Amidst the most turbulent times in the history of Kolkata, then Calcutta, from 1971 to1988, Bikram and Bala rose from being small time wagon breakers and coal thieves to becoming the biggest and most powerful black marketing mafia-men. A rare combination of vigour and wit, the two were inseparable & the city of Calcutta swore by their friendship. As their notoriety became the stuff of legends... the People of this sprawling city started calling these two carefree rebels... ‘GUNDAY’.
The leading lady, who plays a pivotal role in the film, is still to be cast and will be announced shortly.
This is both Ranveer and Arjun’s third film with the banner and the first time that these two powerful performers have come together.
