‘Mukkabaaz’ star Zoya Hussain teams up with Saif Ali Khan

Zoya Hussain of Mukkabaaz fame will be seen alongside Saif Ali Khan in director Navdeep Singh’s next as-yet untitled film.

Filmmaker Aanand L Rai’s home production company Colour Yellow Productions has signed on Singh for the film that also features actor Manav Vij.

Rai said: “It is an absolute delight to have Zoya Hussain and Manav Vij on board for this film. Both are commendable actors and have a strong grasp over the core of their characters. Their approach towards prep work says it all.”

For their role in the film, Hussain learnt horse riding and Vij underwent a complete transformation.

Hussain was seen last in Anurag Kashyap-directed Mukkabaaz, her Bollywood debut, which was produced by Rai. Manav is best remembered for his performances in movies such as Udta Punjab, Rangoon, Phillauri and Naam Shabana.
