Woh Ladki Hai Kahaan? is a mad-cap comedy featuring Taapsee as a fiesty cop. According to the makers, Pratik plays a chauvinistic brat who “finds himself compelled to take a riotous, madcap ride with Taapsee’s character, whose attitude to life is the diametrical opposite of his.” The film is being written and directed by Breathe Into The Shadows co-writer Arshad Syed.

I had seen Pratik’s work and I think he is a very talented actor and I am absolutely enjoying working with him. Arshad has written an amazing script with great comic quirks and also a lot of heart, which I am looking forward to. I am happy that Junglee Pictures and Roy Kapur Films have collaborated to produce this film. It’s going to be a fun ride!”

Pratik Gandhi said, “My character in Woh Ladki Hai Kahaan? is very different from anything I have ever done before, and that is very exciting.

Talking about his directorial debut, Arshad Syed said, “Having a cast of brilliant actors like Taapsee Pannu and Pratik Gandhi has enriched my cinematic journey. The characters they’re essaying are the comic fodder of our film. Sharing the first glimpse of their characters is exciting for the entire team”.
