The project will be helmed by Anvitaa Dutt and produced by Anushka Sharma and Karnesh Sharma's Clean Slate Filmz. For now, the cast includes, Tripti Dimri, Swastika Mukherjee and Babil I Khan.
In a press statement, Netflix has shared a few clips from the sets of the film, where Babil can be seen in one of the long shots. The makers have also released a video where the team can be seen deeply engrossed in making of the film.
"Mother-daughter relationships are sacred and often complicated. Qala is a beautiful, heart-breaking story about a daughter who craves her mother's love. I am ecstatic to have such incredible actors on-board and cannot wait for the world to discover the film with Tripti, Babil and Swastika. It's always a pleasure to partner with Clean Slate Filmz and Netflix as they believe in bringing to life empowered stories like Bulbbul, and now Qala," said Anvitaa Dutt in a press statement while talking about her upcoming projects.
About the director of Qala
Director Anvitaa Dutt and actress Tripti Dimri gained a new kind of fame in 2020 post the release of the Netflix film Bulbul, which was a supernatural tale of a girl being possessed by the spirit of a demon. While various users had criticised a few aspects about the technicalities of the film, overall, Bulbul had been widely watched and appreciated.
