TWO NEW WOMEN IN WOMANIYA?

He's best known for his raw, gritty crime-drama films. Now, Anurag Kashyap is all set to switch gears and direct a women-oriented crime-drama tentatively titled Womaniya. Rumour mills are abuzz with the news that the maverick film-maker is all set to rope in Parineeti Chopra and Taapsee Pannu for the project.

A source working closely on the film told a leading tabloid that the script of the film has been penned and that the makers are currently zeroing in on the cast for the film. “It is a gritty outing, which will see two female actors in the lead, both will need to pack a punch, and literally,” the source added.

The source further revealed, "Parineeti featured in Phantom’s Hasee Toh Phasee (2014), which was well received, and both parties have been looking for the right script to collaborate again.” Also, considering that Taapsee has proved her mettle pulling off action sequences in her recent films, the cast seems appropriate. However, neither of the two have confirmed the reports.

On the work front, Parineeti is currently busy shooting for her upcoming film Golmaal Again and will also be seen opposite Arjun Kapoor in Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar. On the other hand, Taapsee is busy shooting for Judwaa 2 with Varun Dhawan and Jacqueline Fernandez.
