Actors Tabu, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Kriti Sanon are set to headline upcoming comedy movie "The Crew", the makers announced on Tuesday.
The film is a witty, slick rollercoaster ride infused with comedy.
The film will be produced by Ektaa R Kapoor and Rhea Kapoor, who are reuniting after 2018 hit of "Veere Di Wedding".
"The Crew", which marks Tabu, Kareena and Kriti's maiden collaboration, is set against the backdrop of the struggling airline industry.
To be directed by Rajesh Krishnan, the story focuses on three women who work and hustle to make it in life. But their destinies lead to some unwarranted situations and they get caught in a web of lies.
"After the success of 'Veere Di Wedding', Balaji Motion Pictures is happy to collaborate on another film with the amazing Rhea Kapoor. Tabu, Kriti, and Kareena are a perfect ensemble for 'The Crew' and the film is super entertaining yet funny at the same time. I can't wait to bring this story to the big screen," Ektaa R Kapoor said in a statement.
Rhea Kapoor said having Kareena, Tabu and Kriti on board is a dream come true.
''Bringing these three gorgeous, talented movie stars at the top of their game for my next picture is a dream come true. I am excited, determined, and nervous, and can't wait for the shoot to begin. Plus, this is the second time I am collaborating with Ektaa after 'Veere Di Wedding' and it means the world to me to have her support throughout," she said.
Kriti said, "I always look forward to strong characters and unique stories and 'The Crew' is one of them. I am thrilled to work with two powerhouses of talent, Tabu ma’am and Kareena. I’ve always admired and looked up to them and their work. I’ve met Tabu ma’am at a few occasions and she has always been extremely warm. Bebo is simply iconic, I’ve been a fan girl. On the other hand, Rhea and Ektaa are just phenomenal, strong producers who have backed empowering and progressive female characters and subjects. I’ve always wanted to do a fun quirky all girls film and this one just ticked all the boxes and I instantly loved the script. Can’t wait for the journey to begin."
Talking about the same, Kareena said, "Veere Di Wedding holds a special place in my heart... working with Rhea and Ektaa was an incredible journey. So when Rhea came to me with her new project 'The Crew' I was quite intrigued. This also means I get to share screen space with two stellar actors, Tabu and Kriti. I am looking forward to starting this project and can't wait to bring this trifecta to the fold."
Adding to it, Tabu said, "I’m excited to be working on this film with two gorgeous and talented women Kareena and Kriti and two more women of passion, Rhea and Ektaa, and the director Rajesh Krishnan! With all the madness, joy, highs and the lows of the characters, it’s going to be a rollercoaster and I’m looking forward to the ride."
"The Crew" will be co-produced by Balaji Motion Pictures Limited and Anil Kapoor Productions. It is all set to go on floors in February 2023.
