And will have two female leads, played by Dangal fame Sanya Malhotra and Radhika Madan. Talking about Chhuriyaan, Vishal had said earlier, “The film is divided into two parts — the girls before their marriage and how their lives change after they tie the knot. Usually, actors give directors a commitment, but when push comes to shove they get cold feet. But that doesn’t happen with newcomers who are ready for anything. I am looking forward to directing Sanya and Radhika because I can mould them according to my will, change their look and create something fresh.”
