Actor Wamiqa Gabbi on Friday said she has commenced shooting for her upcoming film with Varun Dhawan. Directed by Tamil filmmaker Kalees, the movie is tentatively titled “VD 18” as it is the 18th feature project of Dhawan’s career. The film, which will also feature Keerthy Suresh, is produced by “Jawan” filmmaker Atlee and his wife Priya Mohan’s banner A For Apple Studios.
Gabbi, 30, started filming for the movie in Chennai last week. “Being a part of ‘VD18′ is a thrilling experience for me. Collaborating with exceptional talents like Varun Dhawan and Keerthy Suresh under Atlee sir’s visionary direction is a creative journey I’m eager to explore,” Gabbi said in a statement.
The actor said she is happy with the way 2023 has turned out for her as she started the year with Vikramaditya Motwane’s critically acclaimed series Jubilee, and then collaborated with Vishal Bhardwaj on two projects — spy-thriller movie Khufiya, and his debut OTT series Charlie Chopra & The Mystery of Solang Valley.
“I have been and will always be eternally grateful to 2023, the year that plunged things to new beginnings. And to end the year with being on sets (of VD18’) now of my next is truly the perfect curtain call for the year,” Wamiqa said.
“It’s moments like these that remind me why I love what I do, and I can’t wait for audiences to witness the magic we are creating on screen,” the actress added.
VD18 is co-produced by Murad Khetani. It’s official title and release date has not been announced as of now.
