House Arrest: Ali Fazal and Shriya Pilgaonkar pair up once again for a web-film -details inside

Shashanka Ghosh’s debut film Veere Di Wedding featuring Kareena Kapoor Khan, Sonam K Ahuja, Swara Bhasker was a massive hit and people appreciated his work to a great extent. After almost a year’s break, the director is all set to direct another interesting story. Titled House Arrest, Shashanka will mark his digital debut with the film. Apart from this, he will bring back the much loved Mirzapur pair on the screen again. The film is also co-directed by Samit Basu.

Speaking about it, Ali Fazal said, “House Arrest is a fantastic script. It’s witty, very fresh and for me selfishly the character is very arched and layered. So, it was a fun time on sets to play this part. Even though it’s a comedy, it is complex and I got to go on set every day and do something new and fresh even though it was all in one place.”

On working with his Mirzapur co-star, he said, “It is always fun. Working the second time with her was a natural comfort that just came. Also, Shashanka Ghosh is a genius along with Samit Basu who is the brains behind this venture, they both have such clarity on what they want and how they want it. While they are the leaders of the free world, they also allowed us to have our freehand, to work with our creative liberties. It’s been a great team effort.”

Talking about the film, it circles around Ali’s character and is a situational comedy of sorts. Both Ali and Shriya had a great working equation the first time around and Ali is excited to collaborate once again with the actress. Stay tuned to CineBlitz for more such updates from Bollywood.
