For the first time in her career, Kajal Aggarwal is portraying the role of a doctor in her upcoming yet-to-be-titled film directed by Sudheer Varma. Set in two timelines -- one between the late 80s and early 90s, and the other in the present time period, the crime drama shows Sharwanand in two distinct shades as a village youngster and a 40-year-old rugged gangster.  

“Kajal plays a doctor who falls in love with Sharwa in the present time period. She will be seen in a modern avatar mirroring the current generation. The sequences involving the duo will leave the audience in splits,” says a source.

Kalyani Priyadarshan, who made her debut with Hello, is playing the other lead opposite Sharwa in the period era. “Kalyani will be sporting a traditional look wearing ethnic wear and her retro portions with Sharwa will appear as a flashback,” the source adds.

The team has recently wrapped up a schedule each in Kakinada, Visakhapatnam and will soon resume the shoot in a specially constructed set in Hyderabad. Prashanth Pillai is scoring the music for the film, which is being produced by Naga Vamsi.
