PeepingMoon.com was the first one to inform its readers about the collaboration of actors Ananya Panday and Ishaan Khatter for director Ali Abbas Zafar's maiden production venture titled Khaali Peeli. Proving us right once again, the makers of the film announced about the project on August 27. Now, in the latest development surrounding Ananya's and Ishaan's first collaboration together, the young actors have found their villain in the film in the form of Jaideep Ahlawat. Jaideep, better known for his role in Raazi as Khalid Mir, who trains Alia Bhatt to become a spy, will play the quintessential Hindi film villain in the Maqbool Khan directorial. During an interview with a leading daily, Ali, who will be stepping into production with Khaali Peeli, said Jaideep fits the bit of a strong negative character and revealed that the actor will have a significant role.
"It’s a performance-driven film. We zeroed in on Jaideep because he is an incredible actor. He perfectly fits the bill of the strong negative character which is the quintessential Indian villain. He plays a significant part in the story," Ali told.

Speaking of his role and being roped in along with the young actors, Jaideep, who has films like Raees and Gangs Of Wasseypur to his credit, hoped to do justice to the part and said he is looking forward to work with Ananya and Ishaan. "It’s a challenging villain, and quite different from what I have been doing so far. I hope to do justice to the part and I am looking forward to work with these young talents," Jaideep said.
Khaali Peeli starring Ananya and Ishaan, who were last seen in Student Of The Year 2 and Dhadak respectively, is said to go on floors on September 11, 2019. The film is scheduled to release on June 12, 2020.
