Diljit Dosanjh And Ali Abbas Zafar To Team Up For A Period Drama; Film To Release On OTT

Ali Abbas Zafar has been all over the news because of his upcoming superhero film with Katrina Kaif. It had been said that because he couldn't get enough funds for this film, he approached Netflix and now, it will directly release on the OTT platform as a Netflix original in two parts. But this is not the only film Ali would do with Netflix.

According to a report in Bollywood Hungama, Ali has signed a three-film deal with the OTT giant. The first would not be the superhero film, but rather a period drama set in 1984 with the backdrop of Punjab riots. And for this, he would team up with Diljit Dosanjh. Yes, you read that right. The report. This would be his next after Khaali Peeli. a source was quoted saying, "The script is locked and the film is all geared to go on the floors once normalcy kicks in. Ali describes the subject as desh ki mitti se juda hua, and that’s exactly the content that Netflix too is willing to acquire. By teaming up with a director like Ali, who has commercial sensibilities, Netflix is expecting to record a big spike in viewership." He added that drama will be the core element of the film.

This would release next year and the first part of the superhero film with Katrina would release late 2022. We are excited, are you?
