Ayushmann Khurrana‘s talented wife Tahira Kashyap is all set to make her Bollywood directorial debut with ‘Sharma Ji Ki Beti’ (working title). She made a short film titled ‘Toffee’ last year. Her upcoming project deals with a slice-of-life drama about two women.

A source revealed, “The project has been tentatively titled ‘Sharma Ji Ki Beti’. The team was looking for two actresses from different age groups for it.” Madhuri Dixit-Nene and Saiyami Kher are the first choices of the filmmakers, and they will be signing the contract very soon.

The source added, “The makers had begun talks with Madhuri last year, who recently gave her nod. She has an author-backed role. Saiyami’s character is that of a modern Indian girl, who is athletic and plays cricket. The makers have already had joint narrations with both the ladies.”

Tanuj Garg and Atul Kasbekar chose Tahira for her directorial debut, and the project will be bankrolled by Bhushan Kumar. The filming of the movie is expected to start by the end of February or early March.

Tahira Kashyap is the cancer survivor who won the fight against breast cancer last year.

She even gave her voice to Nisha the wolf in ‘Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle‘. She will also be seen in Indra Kumar’s ‘Total Dhamaal’ and Abhishek Varman’s ‘Kalank’ this year.

Saiyami Kher made her Bollywood debut in 2016 with ‘Mirzya’ but first appeared in Telugu film ‘Rey’ in 2015.
