Mumbai – Actress Sharvari received a special birthday surprise this year as she was officially announced as the lead actress in filmmaker Imtiaz Ali’s next project.
Expressing her joy over the opportunity, the Maharaj actress shared that working with the Tamasha director had been a long-cherished dream since the beginning of her acting journey.
Taking to Instagram, she wrote:
“What an incredible surprise to see this announcement happen on my birthday! Best birthday ever! @imtiazaliofficial sir, I have manifested to be directed by you ever since I dreamt of becoming an actor. This will be the most amazing learning experience for me. It’s an honour to be a part of your vision. Thank you for choosing me. It feels so special to be part of this dream team @naseeruddin49 @diljitdosanjh @vedangraina. Eeeeppp!!! So excited for this new journey.”
The untitled film boasts a stellar ensemble cast including Diljit Dosanjh, veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah, Vedang Raina, and Sharvari. The film is expected to begin shooting by August this year and is slated for a theatrical release around Baisakhi 2026.
Speaking about the project, Imtiaz Ali shared a poetic reflection:
“‘Tum mere paas hote ho goya, Jab koi doosra nahin hota’ – Momin. Can love really be lost? Can home be taken away from someone’s heart?”
He added, “The film has a wide canvas but is deeply personal. It tells the story of a boy and a girl, and also of a nation. Wish us well as we embark on this emotional journey. We hope to bring you a touching cinematic experience by next year.”
Further details about the film’s plot, characters, and other crew members remain under wraps for now.
This project marks Sharvari’s first on-screen collaboration with both Diljit Dosanjh and Vedang Raina.
