MUMBAI: Filmmaker Kanu Behl’s next directorial will be “Agra”, featuring Rahul Roy.

“Agra”, which is Behl’s follow-up to his 2015 film “Titli”, will chronicle the sexual dynamics that operate within a close dysfunctional family.
The project, produced by Yoodlee films, also features Priyanka Bose, Mohit Agarwal and Ruhani Sharma ,Vibha Chibber, Sonal Jha and Aanchal Goswami in pivotal roles.
“‘Agra’ is a story of a cosmos of a family ? throbbing and pulsating, hunting and escaping the dynamic energies that people in the family inhabit. Its an exploration of space in an increasingly crowded world, and the quest for a sexual odyssey of an individual here.
“Having a production house like Yoodlee Films to come onboard and back this project gives me confidence in their commitment to create meaningful cinema ? cinema which is at once relevant and unique in content,” Behl said in a statement.
Siddharth Anand Kumar, Producer Yoodlee Films and VP, Films and TV Saregama India, said the new project reiterates the company’s commitment to create quality cinema.
“The fact that we have a talent like Kanu Behl is in charge of bringing this riveting story to screen makes this an exciting proposition to look out for all cine-goers,” he added.
“Agra” will go on floors later this month and is expected to be released early next year. (AGENCIES)
