After making her debut in the dramedy ‘Jawaani Jaanemaan’ (2020), Alaya F takes the lead in driving Ekta Kapoor’s upcoming production ‘U-Turn’.
The film is an edge-of-the-seat thriller directed by debutante director Arif Khan and is an adaptation of the blockbuster south film of the same title.
U-Turn will be produced by Cult Movies, which is the new division under Shobha Kapoor and Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji Telefilms, which produces new age & edgy content. Interestingly, U-Turn is the third film to be announced under Cult Movies, after Anurag Kashyap’s Dobaaraa and Dibakar Banerjee’s LSD 2. Set against an urban backdrop, the film goes on-floors tomorrow.
Talking about the collaboration, Ekta Kapoor shares, “Alaya was fantastic in her debut film. There’s a self-assured yet vulnerable quality to her that I believe can connect with audiences across. U-Turn takes you on a ride with twists & turns galore & edge-of-the-seat excitement. I’m so happy to have Alaya on board!”
Sharing the same sentiment, Alaya F shares, “It is an extremely exciting opportunity to collaborate with Ekta ma’am so early on in my career, especially for such an interesting project. I feel responsible to be bestowed with the task to drive such an intriguing story and I’m absolutely overjoyed to start this journey.”
