The film's producer Ali Abbas Zafar on Wednesday shared the film's clapboard on Instagram and he captioned it: "It begins."
Set in Mumbai, "Khaali Peeli" is a young, edgy roller-coaster ride that kick-starts one night, when boy meets girl.
Zafar, who directed multiple blockbusters like "Sultan" and "Tiger Zinda Hai", has joined hands with Zee Studios to co-produce "Khaali Peeli".
Actor Jaideep Ahlawat, known for his strong performances in films like "Raazi" and "Gangs of Wasseypur", will feature in the movie as a villain.
The makers have roped in Vishal-Shekhar to compose the music of the film, which will release on June 12, 2020.
She wants to do good films which eventually become commercial hits and establish herself as the leading lady in B-town. After her current movie which is a remake of Sanjeev Kumar and Vidya Sinha starrer by the same movie, she will be next seen in “Khaali Peeli” which is an intense love story. In this movie, for the first time, Ananya will be the only leading lady. At the age of 21, the actress does not have any plans to get married off soon.
But even then when she was asked eventually when she would like to get married, the daughter of Chunky Panday said that she would like to tie the knot at the age of 30 years. So, the young actress has her deadline set for marriage although it is too early to say whether she will wait for almost a decade to get married or not.
Ananya Is Looking Forward To Playing Pooja In Khaali Peeli
The chirpy actress is looking forward to playing Pooja in “Khaali Peeli” opposite Ishaan Khattar. The movie is all about a roller-coaster ride of a boy and a girl who meet one night and an intense love story develop. Ananya always wanted to work with Ishaan after she saw the latter’s first movie “Beyond the Clouds.”
Although this young brother of Shahid Kapoor got his ticket to fame through “Dhadkan” opposite Jahnvi Kapoor, his work in the first movie was highly appreciated.
"Ananya has been juggling between shoots and other commitments. Recently, during a schedule of Khaali Peeli, she started shooting at 8 o'clock in the morning and continued to shoot till the next morning. She shot for the film for more than 23 hours at a stretch," a source said.
Directed by Parvez Shaikh, "Khaali Peeli" also features Ishaan Khatter.
"Ananya has a very tight schedule but even then, none of her other work commitments suffer. She's shooting for a song sequence, attending events, reading scripts and has a line-up of films in 2020, which she is shooting for. She will kick-start the shoot for some of them by the end of February itself", the source said, adding that the actress will begin shooting for her upcoming slate of films soon.
The masala entertainer is produced by Ali Abbas Zafar with Zee Studios and Himanshu Kishan Mehra.

Next, she will be seen with Ishaan Khattar in “Khaali Peeli” and the actress is currently enjoying every part of its shooting. It is because Ananya always wanted to work with the younger brother of Shahid Kapoor. The actress went on the record saying that she was dying to work with Ishaan after watching his “Beyond The Clouds” movie. As far as Siddhant Chaturvedi is concerned, he earned name and fame with “Gully Boy” that starred Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in the lead having started his career through “Inside Edge” aired on Prime Video in 2017.
Ananya And Siddhant – Actors From Two Different Worlds
While Ananya is the daughter of yesteryear actor Chunky Panday, Siddhant Chaturvedi comes from a small town and has achieved success on his own. His reply to Ananya’s response to nepotism stirred quite a debate on social media last year. Despite coming from two different worlds, this pair of Siddhant and Ananya looks very good together.
The two made headlines recently when they were spotted having a fun-time with Karan Johar’s twins Ruhi and Yash Johar. While Ananya was telling some cheesy bedtime stories to Ruhi, Siddhant looked all attentive and curious. The rumoured couple was also spotted together going out recently triggering speculations about the two dating each other. Although neither of the stars has confirmed any linkup, insider sources reveal that their meeting was a part of the work they are doing for their upcoming film together.
So everything was going cosy and it was supposed that the rumors about their affair were indeed true. Arjun Kapoor even said that Ishaan is constantly buzzing around Janvhi during an interview on Koffee With Karan. But suddenly in the past few months, there has been no news about the two. According to a news source, Ishaan was the one who decided to move on after he found out that Janhvi was still in touch with her ex-boyfriend and things between the two were warming up yet again.
Here's Everything You Need to Know About Janhvi Kapoor's Rumoured Boyfriendhttps://t.co/dZ8nruS3Tx pic.twitter.com/ImgnmKADJm
— Cosmopolitan India (@CosmoIndia) September 7, 2018
Janhvi Kapoor’s first boyfriend was Shikhar Pahariya, the maternal grandson of Union Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde. The actress was very close to him but when her lip-lock pictures with Shikhar became viral Sridevi was livid. It was the early days of the year 2016 and the Indian superstar was still trying to find a top-class production house for launching her daughter. She did not want Janhvi to get entangled in a serious relationship at this stage and put on a no-dating clause.
It snubbed the budding Shikhar and Janhvi relationship. But tongues started wagging yet again when Janhvi was spotted with Akshat Ranjan at the screening of Dear Zindagi. Noteworthy was the fact that Sridevi was also spotted accompanying the duo on another occasion.
Many believed that it was Shikhar Pahariya but later on the confusion was cleared when the boy with Janhvi was identified as Akshat Ranjan who was then studying International Relations, with Entrepreneurial Leadership and Film and Media Studies at the Tufts University.
Both Akshat and Janhvi even declared love for each other on social media. Later on, as Akshat continued his studies abroad and Janhvi started shooting for her debut movie Dhadak with Ishaan, the two drifted apart and the actress got close with the Khaali Peeli actor.

But now it seems both Akshat and Janhvi are fast catching up with each other making up for the lost time. The actress even shared a picture couple of months ago from Lonavala where she is spending special moments with her childhood sweetheart Akshat. This seems to have enraged Ishaan who has now decided to move on and focus on his career instead.
Janhvi Kapoor & Ananya Panday’s OTT Releases
Janhvi Kapoor debuted with Dhadak opposite Ishaan Khattar almost three years ago. Since then she had no other release in the theatre even though she was a part of the Dharma Productions Ghost Series. That is why for Janhvi movies like Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl and Roohi Afzana were very important. Since these two movies are heroine-centric they gave ample opportunity to showcase her talent in strong roles. But now with Gunjan Saxena poised for OTT release on Netflix and Roohi Afzana the following suit after some time, it is a major setback for Boney Kapoor’s girl because OTT releases do not establish star power.
Moreover these were supposed to be major releases for Janhvi after Dhadak and with their success, her career would have escalated to new heights. Although actors and stars with OTT release do get appreciation and money, the recognition that the box-office success gives is missing. Another actress whose next movie is being released on OTT is Ananya Panday. Her flick Khaali Peeli opposite Ishaan Khattar is scheduled to release on Netflix which can be a big jolt to her career.
After Student of the Year 2 and Pati Patni Aur Woh, it was supposed to be the third release of the young actress. The first two movies had one more lead actress and the attention was certainly shared. That is why Ananya was looking forward to the release of Khaali Peeli in the theatres and see how fans accept her pairing with Ishaan and also as a solo female lead.
Will It Affect Kiara Advani’s Career?
Kiara has been around in the film industry for some time now. She had a few releases that have been extremely successful including the recent ones Kabir Singh and Good Newwz. She was also a part of Ghost Stories and Guilty released on OTT. According to reports her movie Indoo Ki Jawani might get an OTT release. But it won’t affect her career much as Kiara has proved in the last two years that she is a bankable star.
But for the young stars like Janhvi and Ananya OTT releases of some of the most important movies in their kitties can be disappointing. While Janhvi has Dostana 2 and Takht, two big releases with Dharma Productions, Ananya Panday had only one confirmed release Khaali Peeli in her kitty. She was also expected to be a part of Shakun Batra’s next project but due to lockdown, things are not confirmed yet.

Surprisingly, until a few months back, Ishaan and Janhvi Kapoor were supposed to be a couple. They were constantly seen with each other post-release of Dhadak- Janhvi’s debut movie with Ishaan.
The young actress invited Ishaan and even his family members Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput for dinner which triggered a lot of attention.
Similarly, the two having fun time regularly had become usual. But slowly their romance took a backseat as both of them started working for other movie projects.
Before debuting in Bollywood, Janhvi was dating Akshat Ranjan. He was clicked many times with Sridevi and Boney Kapoor. While Janhvi was shooting for Dhadak Akshat went abroad for his studies. That is when both Ishaan and Janhvi started bonding. But after Akshat returned Janhvi reunited with him. She even shared a cozy picture with her alleged boyfriend at the start of this year.
But it does not seem that Ishaan is heartbroken because he immediately started getting closer to Ananya Panday. Both are young and new in the film industry and seem to love each other’s company.

Work-wise, Ishaan will be next seen with the veteran actress Tabu in Mira Nair’s A Suitable Boy. It is a story about a young boy falling in love with a woman much older than him. According to the latest update, Ishaan will also share the screen space with Katrina Kaif and Siddhant Chaturvedi in Gurmeet Singh’s horror-comedy Phone Booth.
There is more:
The song has unleashed fury on Twitter where the social media users are not putting up with the song’s subtle racism and colourism.
The lyrics that actually triggered outrage among Twitterati was 'Tujhe dekh ke goriya Beyonce sharma jayegi'.
No idea about Beyonce, but Indians definitely felt second hand embarrassment after listening to this song.
Of course, everyone in bollywood consumes drugs. How do u come up with beyonce sharma jayegi otherwise???

The fact that 'goriya' and global icon Beyonce were sung in the same breath doesn’t sit well with the Indian fans.

Further, the fact that both Pandey and Khatter are products of nepotism, this certainly doesn’t help their case either. The song currently has 325k dislikes and counting on YouTube.
In a bid to avoid more backlash, the song title was amended to “Beyonse Sharma Jayegi" which invited more trolling on the case that changing the spell of Beyonce doesn't solve the issue.
Changing “fair & lovely” to “glow & lovely” or changing “Beyoncé sharma jayegi” to “Beyonse sharma jayegi” is like me using “nevertheless” instead of “however” in a sentence bro the undertone hasn’t changed

Then the Beyonce reference was taken off from the song. The song was changed from “tujhe dekh ke goriya, Beyoncé sharma jayegi” to “tera dekh ke nakhra, yeh duniya sharma jayegi.”
As of earlier today, the song’s title has been changed and the video re-uploaded under the title “Duniya Sharma Jayegi.”
On the other hand, they ensured that SSR's last movie Dil Bechara becomes a big hit. The trailer of Dil Bechara also starring Sanjana Sanghi became the most liked trailer on YouTube.

But when it came to the release of Sadak 2, Khaali Peeli or Laxmii, the movies failed to make an impact. Was it just because Sushant Singh Rajput fans decided to boycott it?
Undoubtedly Sadak 2's trailer became the most disliked one because SSR fans ran an aggressive campaign against both Alia Bhatt and her father Mahesh Bhatt. Alia being the star kid was already a target.
Even before that association of Mahesh Bhatt with Rhea Chakraborty, the prime accused in Sushant Singh Rajput's case also had many boycotting this sequel to the original movie of Pooja Bhatt and Sanjay Dutt.
https://twitter.com/_RKSumit/status/1296144032591093760
However, when Sadak 2 starring Aditya Roy Kapur, Sanjay Dutt, Alia Bhatt, and Pooja Bhatt finally released on Disney Plus Hotstar in August last week, it was even slammed by the critics. The movie received very low-1.1 ratings on IMDb.
https://twitter.com/IndiaToday/status/1296838045837037569
Leading film critics reviewed it as one of the most inconsistent flicks with a sloppy plot and shabby sequences. The only thing that was good enough was the natural swag of charming Sanjay Dutt. But it certainly was not enough to make Sadak 2 watchable which is why this comeback flick of Mahesh Bhatt failed badly.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iot0eF6EoNA
Taking a cue from what happened with Sadak 2 when the makers released the trailer of Khaali Peeli staring Ananya Panday and Ishaan Khattar, they turned off the like/dislike button.
https://twitter.com/Celestial_Maymr/status/1298149479434997760
Akshay Kumar did the same when the trailer of his movie Laxmii with Kiara Advani was released. However, all the promotions on social media and television could not help these movies from failing badly in the eyes of the audience.
https://twitter.com/SumitkadeI/status/1308675593559371776
Khaali Peeli released on Gandhi Jayanti this year received a bit better IMDb reviews-2.4 as compared to Alia's Sadak sequel . Immediately within a day of its release, it became one of the most badly reviewed movies of all time. Critics slammed this Maqbool Khan-directed flick as a soggy affair with a lackluster presentation.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lB_nEHhqq3U
Coming to Laxmii, it ran into controversy for its name Laxmmi Bomb days ahead of its release. The makers were forced to change the name to Laxmii after outrage on social media.

https://twitter.com/JyotiKarma7/status/1321797666917896192
It was a remake of a South Indian superhit movie Kanchana 2 helmed by Raghava Lawrence who directed the original film. Co-produced by Akshay Kumar himself who played the lead role of transgender ghost Laxmii, the teaser looked quite impressive.
https://twitter.com/akshaykumar/status/1325787712729702406
Despite the fact that Sushant Singh Rajput fans were keen on boycotting this movie as well, Akki and Kiara Advani's Burj Khalifa song received a good response.
https://twitter.com/itsRajputLK/status/1335400006539501569
But when the movie released on 9 November during Diwali this year, it failed to make an impact. With 2.3 IMDb ratings, Laxmii that dealt with the vengeance of a ghost was criticized as a soulless flick which even the dynamism of Akshay Kumar could not save.
In nutshell, even though Sushant Singh Rajput fans who were dead against star kids opposed these movies, the films failed because of bad content. Importantly, many believe that the pride of these stars was salvaged because these flicks came on OTT space. Instead, if they would have released in theaters, it could have been a big disaster for the producers and distributors.
