Director : Shashanka Ghosh Cast :*Kareena Kapoor *Sonam Kapoor *Swara Bhaskar *Shikha Talsania Plot :
"Along the lines of the 2005 American drama, The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, it's a journey about these four girls, coming together for the wedding of one of them, going on a crazy trip and finding love. It'll explore the spirit of new age Indian women and deal with feminism.
The movie will reportedly be directed by Rhea Kapoor and may star Sonam Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Katrina Kaif and Huma Qureshi. The film will tell the story of the journey of four girls. It has been described as being the female version of ZNMD. I think it's great news to see four notable actresses of the same generation coming together in a movie. I really hope Rhea will be able to cast all of them though I would have loved to see Kareena and Kangna in the movie instead of Katrina and Huma...

These days, can a movie afford both Anushka and Katrina? They've both raised their fees since Jab Tak Hai Jaan. Besides, Rhea can't afford what Yash Chopra could, or what Zoya Akhtar or Ekta Kapoor can. Be that as it may, I doubt anyone except UTV and Salman/Arbaaz Khan could afford Kareena and Kangana and Anushka.

Just the idea of this movie makes me so happy! I know there are movies that focus on female friendships/relationships out there (Dor, Fire, etc), but most Bollywood films don't pass the Bechdel test. When I was watching Dil Dhadakne Do it was really jarring (but refreshing) to see Anushka and Priyanka in the same screen space (and there is one very short and barely in earshot scene at the safari lunch where they have a conversation about something other than a man (Farrah's show)). I'm dying for a female version of Dil Chahta Hai or Kai Po Che or Zindagi Na Milenge Dobara or, hell even, Grand Masti (wouldn't a Bollywood version of Bridesmaids be amazing?). And any combination of 3 or 4 high profile actresses would suit me just fine...well maybe not including Katrina or Kareena. My dream cast of four would be Sonam, Deepika, Anushka, and Kangana.
I'm really looking forward to Angry Indian Goddesses (the indie version of this concept, perhaps).

This will be nice if done right. A film like this has the potential to become very cliched, almost to a misogynistic point. Hopefully they can get away from all the female-centric movie stereotypes and get down to something real. I would have liked to see Kangana and Kalki involved, but as long as Anushka is in it I'm game.

How about a remake of The Devil Wears Prada with Madhuri or Sridevi playing the arrogant fashion tycoon and Shraddha or Alia plaing the young, innocent, rookie?

Sonam talked about this movie. It'll indeed be an ensemble cast directed by Shashanka Ghosh. It seems that it'll be her next movie post-Neerja. Battle Fo Bittora seems to have taken a backseat (they may be waiting for Fawad).

SCOOP: Sonam Kapoor and Swara Bhaskar to team up for a chick flick? 31-Mar-2016 Team Clapsnslaps Reportedly Sonam Kapoor who is currently riding high on the success of her last film 'Neerja' will be next seen in a chick flick. As per a Spotboye report the film will see Sonam and Swara Bhaskar teaming up once again after Salman Khan starrer 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo'. We hear that the movie will be helmed by 'Khoobsurat' director Shashank Ghosh. The report further quoted a source saying, "Shashank and Rhea (Kapoor) have been regularly brainstorming and have finalised on a script. It's about four girls going on a trip, a whacky coming-of-age drama." Further the source added that 'Battle For Bittora' has thus been currently put on the back-burner.

IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE… By Avinash Lohana, Mumbai Mirror | Apr 6, 2016, 12.00 AM IST  Sonam Kapoor and Swara Bhaskar reunite for the third time to take off on a journey of a lifetime. After starring together in Anand L Rai's Raanjhanaa and Sooraj Barjatya's Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Sonam Kapoor and Swara Bhaskar are all set to complete a hat-trick with Rhea Kapoor's third outing as a producer post Aisha and Khoobsurat. The chick flick, tentatively titled Veerey Di Shaadi, has two actresses in the lead and two others in supporting roles. The search is on for the other two actresses and four new faces who romance the girls. "Along the lines of the 2005 American drama, The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, it's a journey about these four girls going on a crazy trip and finding love. Sonam and Rhea had offered the film to Swara a month ago and she instantly agreed but is yet to sign on the dotted line," informs a source close to the development, adding that Shashanka Ghosh, who had earlier directed Sonam and Fawad Khan in the Khoobsurat remake, is helming the project. "The girls will travel from Delhi to Europe and the makers have already begun scouting for suitable locations. The script will be locked and the prep done in a month's time. The film will roll in June." Interestingly, Sonam and Swara are friends in real life too and recently collaborated on a special video for Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari's Nil Battey Sannata. Their fondness for each other was evident when they were promoting their Diwali release with Salman. Sonam had earlier told Mirror (August 31, 2015), "Swara Bhaskar is my new friend and confidante. She and I have been shooting for Prem Ratan Dhan Payo together and recently I called her in the middle of the night to discuss our dismal loves lives." And so the search for a Prem begins...

Sonam-Bebo saath saath! The two are set to star in Rhea Kapoor’s chick flick... Nayandeep Rakshit  Producer Rhea Kapoor has been waiting to kickstart her maiden directorial venture — a chick flick, tentatively titled Veeray Di Shaadi, starring four girls. With Kareena Kapoor Khan confirming to us that she is in talks for playing one of the girls, Rhea, who turns director with the film, gets ready to start shooting by July. In the beginning, there was only talk of Katrina Kaif and Sonam Kapoor being confirmed as the leads. However, says a source, “Katrina was never formally offered the film. There were only initial talks but it never materialised.” Huma, too, was approached, but she decided to opt out of the film. Reveals our source, “Rhea wants a powerful team of actresses and she feels Kareena will suit the bill perfectly. Kareena has not signed anything post Udta Punjab and this will possibly be her next film. Talks are on and an announcement will be made formally very soon. In all probability, it will indeed be Bebo and Sonam saath-saath.” When contacted, Bebo texted back, confirming that she’s approached for the role. “I am thinking about it,” she messaged. Adds our source, “Swara Bhaskar plays the third friend. For the character of the fourth girl in the all-girl group, the makers have finalised Tiku Talsania’s daughter Shikha Talsania (best known for her role in Wake Up Sid). While Sonam and Bebo play the leads, Swara and Shikha will be the supporting leads.”

Bebo is Veera
It is Kareena and not Sonam Kapoor, who will play the lead role in Rhea's next Kareena Kapoor Khan won't play second fiddle to anybody, not even Sonam Kapoor. Even if it is the latter's sister Rhea's production, Veera Di Shaadi, directed by Khoobsurat director Shashank Ghosh. Apart from Kareena and Sonam, the film also stars Swara Bhaskar and Shikha Talsania in supporting roles. The film is about a crazy trip between four best friends and all of them finding love at some point in their journey and is said to be an adaptation of the Hollywood flick, The Sisterhood of The Travelling Pants (see box). Says a source, "Rhea's chick flick, Veera Di Shaadi, however, will revolve around a big fat Punjabi wedding. The essence of the film will be about four girls on a journey from Delhi to Europe and it will culminate in Veera's wedding. Kareena loved the script and the idea of acting in a chick flick for the first time, she made sure that hers had to be the meatiest role and that the story revolves around her character. Kareena is being very choosy about her roles now." The source adds that after Ki & Ka, which turned out to be a surprise hit despite its unconventional story, Kareena can afford to dictate terms. "Also, she adds star value to the film, which otherwise only has Sonam. It just makes the project much bigger. Rhea had to bow down to her diktat and inform Sonam, who is a sensible girl. She agreed to play the second lead. Of course, everyone is hush-hush just now till they all start shooting in July."

Sonam Kapoor’s look in Veere Di Wedding mix of high-end fashion, ethnic Sonam Kapoor to don a mix look in her upcoming movie Veere Di Wedding.Actress Sonam Kapoor says she will don a mixture of high-end fashion and traditional Indian wear in her forthcoming film Veere Di Wedding. With her impeccable sense of style and fashion sensibility, the 31-year-old actress has always experimented with her looks over the years and set fashion trends through her films like Saawariya, I hate Luv Storys, Aisha, Delhi 6, Khoobsurat and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. In Veere Di Wedding, which celebrates the spirit of the modern day woman, Sonam will sport many fashion forward Indian outfits and the actress is in talks with many designers for the same. Kareena who is also a part of the film would be going ahead with the shooting and will be filming her part in August.In a joint statement sent out by producers Ekta Kapoor and Rhea Kapoor, they have clarified that Kareena would go ahead with her plans as scheduled. “Ekta Kapoor and I ,with our families and companies,are delighted and excited for Kareena and Saif! As producers of Veere Di Wedding we are thrilled to be part of their special journey! Bebo is a thorough professional and will start the shoot of the film in August.Much like the spirit of our film, which celebrates the modern girl,Kareena is going on with her work and life as usual and we couldn’t be prouder to have her!” Rhea Kapoor reported. “My looks in the film are a mix of high-end fashion and traditional Indian wear with a contemporary twist. Rhea (producer) and I are working on them closely,” Sonam said in a statement here. “We wanted to push the envelope with Veere Di Wedding since it’s a complete feel good film. We are meeting lot of designers on collaborations,” she added. Also starring Kareena Kapoor Khan, Swara Bhaskar and Shikha Talsania, the film is directed by Khoobsurat fame Shashanka Ghosh and produced by Sonam’s sister Rhea Kapoor and Ekta Kapoor.

As reported by Filmfare, she revealed, “While Bebo plays a progressive character, Sonam’s character is a lot about how your life is governed by what you feel you should do and what you actually want to do. Sonam plays a middle class Delhi girl and she tries to balance everything that comes with that.”
Further clearing the confusion about Kareena doing the film, Rhea stated, “We will shoot certain sections with the other three girls in October but the maximum chunk will be shot in March/April after Kareena returns.”
Adding to this, she explained her reasons for making films about young women. “It’s a genre I enjoy working with. I want to do other things as well but this is my comfort zone. There’s not much for young girls to watch and relate to in Hindi films,” she said.

I suppose that shooting should have begun on this, unless plans changed. Does anyone know what's going on?
