Ananya Panday set to collaborate with filmmaker Vikramaditya Motwane for a cyber thriller

Actor Ananya Panday is set to collaborate with filmmaker Vikramaditya Motwane for a cyber thriller movie, the makers announced on Wednesday.

The untitled movie will be produced by actor-producer Nikhil Dwivedi's banner Saffron, a press release stated.

Motwane, known for critical hits such as "Udaan", "Lootera", "Bhavesh Joshi Superhero" and "AK vs. AK", said his new movie has a modern-day appeal and is very relevant for the current times. "The film is a 'screenlifer', and will be completely told via the screens we consume - computers, phones and televisions. It's something that neither me nor Ananya has ever attempted before and I'm super excited to collaborate with her on this journey," the filmmaker said in a statement.

Panday said she immediately agreed to be a part of the film as she wanted to collaborate with Motwane.

"As a filmmaker, he has been on my wish list for as long as I can remember and I feel really lucky to be working with him this early in my career," she added.
