Yami Gautam in Sujoy Ghosh's Kahaani 3; pre-production begins: Report

Actor Yami Gautam is set to headline Kahaani 3, with director Sujoy Ghosh returning to direct the film. The project is currently in pre-production, with the team working on other aspects of the film, according to reports.

Unlike the first two films, which featured actor Vidya Balan in the lead, Kahaani 3 is set to take the franchise in a new direction as reported by Pinkvilla.

The film is said to be a fresh story set in the world of Kahaani rather than a continuation of the earlier parts, and the makers are currently working on shoot timelines and are expected to lock the schedule soon.

The portal attributed a source who said, "Kahaani 3 is a new story altogether. The idea is to take the franchise forward while retaining the essence of the world that



audiences have loved. Yami Gautam is coming on board as the lead, and the character has a very strong arc."

"The film is still in the pre-production stage, and the team is working on the timelines for the shoot," the source added.

The first two films in the franchise were led by Vidya Balan, with Sujoy Ghosh directing both.

On Sujoy's return for the third instalment, the source said, "Sujoy has a very clear vision for the Kahaani world. He is working closely with the team to ensure that the third film feels fresh but still carries the soul of the franchise."

"There is a lot of excitement around the collaboration with Yami, and the makers are currently figuring out the shoot schedule," the source concluded.
