Palash Muchhal is back at work with a new directorial project after weeks in the spotlight over personal developments, announcing his next film — an untitled thriller set against the backdrop of Mumbai — that will star Shreyas Talpade and Daisy Shah in the lead roles.

The film marks Palash’s latest venture following his previous directorial outings — Ardh (2022), starring Rajpal Yadav and Rubina Dilaik, and Kaam Chalu Hai (2024), also featuring Rajpal Yadav — with both projects drawing attention for their unique storylines and ensemble casts.

According to the announcement, Shreyas Talpade will headline the thriller, reportedly playing a ‘common man’ in a storyline that has been kept deliberately under wraps to preserve suspense. Though the title and plot details have not yet been revealed, Mumbai’s urban landscape is expected to play a significant role in setting the tone for the narrative. Filming is anticipated to go on floors soon, with production expected to begin in the coming weeks.

On February 15, trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the news on X (formerly Twitter). “DAISY SHAH JOINS SHREYAS TALPADE IN PALASH MUCHHAL’S NEXT FILM On the auspicious occasion of #MahaShivratri, director #PalaashMuchhal has signed #DaisyShah as the female lead opposite #ShreyasTalpade for his upcoming, as-yet-untitled thriller. Set against the backdrop of #Mumbai, the filming is expected to commence shortly," he wrote.

Daisy Shah, known for her roles in films like Jai Ho and other Bollywood projects, has been confirmed as the female lead opposite Shreyas  Talpade, making this collaboration one of her significant upcoming appearances on the big screen.

Fans have welcomed the pairing and are speculating about the film’s genre and storyline based on the thriller tag attached to the project.
