Raaj Shaandilyaa, Sandeep Singh rope in Pyaar Ka Punchnama fame Ishita Raaj in a yet-to-be-titled film

‘Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety’ and ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama’ fame actress Ishita Raaj has been roped in, to essay the role of a news anchor and be a narrator, who takes the story forward, in this yet-to-be-titled film.

The film, based on a true event, is an emotional drama showcasing the mentality of today's youth and society at large. And the courage it takes to stand your ground and voice against discrimination.

Producer Raaj Shaandilyaa says, Sandeep and I go back a long way, and this film is very special to me. He adds, "This kind of story needs to be told to bring about awareness in the youth. I am absolutely convinced and thoroughly believe in the message the film has to put across. And Ishita Raaj is perfect for the role. I have great expectations from her. She is one actress to watch out for."

Producer Sandeep Singh says, "Ever since he made Dream Girl, Raaj has always maintained an encouraging and supportive attitude towards newcomers. A quality I relate to."
