Zee Studios, Emmay Entertainment and JA Entertainment team up for Nikkhil Advani’s next directorial titled ‘Vedaa’ featuring John Abraham and Sharvari

Zee Studios, Emmay Entertainment,  and JA Entertainment announce their next - Vedaa starring John Abraham, Sharvari and Abhishek Banerjee. Helmed by Nikkhil Advani, the film officially commenced its shoot in Rajasthan on 20th June, promising audiences a thrilling experience filled with high-octane sequences and gripping action, John is touted to take on the role of a mentor, guiding and training Sharvari’s character.

After the critical success of Mrs Chatterjee VS Norway, Zee Studios and Emmay Entertainment have joined forces once again with Vedaa. As the team embarked on this exciting venture yesterday, they aim to deliver an edge-of-your-seat cinematic experience.

John Abraham says, “I am looking forward to giving my all for this project. This riveting story will definitely leave an imprint in your mind as it did for me. I am honoured to play the part and excited for kickstarting this journey.”

Sharvari, who has been dubbed as a star in the making in Bollywood, shares her excitement to be directed by Nikkhil Advani. She says, “Nikkhil sir is one of the most disruptive voices in Indian cinema and I feel lucky to be directed by him so early in my career. I would like to thank him for trusting me with a titular role as Vedaa. It’s a privilege to work with John Abraham and I am sure I will get to learn a lot from him on this journey. I love the entire Emmay Entertainment team and I want to thank them for nurturing me creatively with this film. I’m super excited about filming Vedaa.”

Coming together after Batla House, Director Nikkhil Advani and John Abraham have the perfect recipe for success. Commenting on this, Nikkhil says, “Post Batla House, John and I were wondering how best to solidly our collaboration. With Vedaa we have found that hard-hitting story that can be elevated to a wider and broader audience with some incredible action. Sharvari is possibly one of the most hard working actors I have had the pleasure of working with. The way she has got into the skin of the character and has made it her own is so inspiring.”

Talking about its association with Emmay and JA Entertainment, Shariq Patel, CBO, Zee Studios says, "After the success of Mrs. Chatterjee Vs Norway, we are happy to team up once again with Emmay Entertainment. Our previous collaboration with John Abraham on 'Parmaanu' was a huge success as well. Vedaa is a gripping story and the way Nikkhil has visualised it will ensures dollops of thrill with a very strong message.

Monisha Advani of Emmay Entertainment adds, “We at Emmay always look to tell stories we believe in. Vedaa is one such story. With Nikkhil and John reuniting after Batla House, I am excited for the audience to see the magic they create once again.”

Excited about the project, Madhu Bhojwani of Emmay Entertainment remarks, “Getting to the bottom of every story that moves us has been one of our prime motives and with Vedaa, we want to bring out a gripping narrative that will shake the world in its order."

Minnakshi Das of JA Entertainment adds, “The story depicted in Vedaa is definitely intriguing and only time can show the audiences what we have in store for them in terms of plots and twists, which is inspired by a true story.”

Directed by Nikkhil Advani & written by Aseem Arora, Vedaa is produced by Zee Studios, Emmay Entertainment and JA Entertainment.

The film is currently on floors and is slated to release next year.

Harishankar Verma makes his debut as a Producer with thriller drama series 'Meri Pyari Nikkii' now streaming on MX Player

 Harishankar Verma makes his debut as a Producer with thriller drama series 'Meri Pyari Nikkii' now streaming on MX Player

They say dreams come true with hard work, and Harishankar Verma's story is a perfect example of this! Born and raised in Sultanpur, a small town in Uttar Pradesh, Verma comes from a family of farmers. He spent 20 years in the media and entertainment industry, working his way up from an Executive Producer and Scheduler to finally realizing his long-held aspiration of becoming a producer. MX Player's latest thriller drama series, 'Meri Pyari Nikkii,' is the project that gave Verma the chance to bring his creative vision to life after dedicating more than two decades to the industry. He is ecstatic to have the opportunity to produce a project of his own and to see his hard work pay off.

Set in the bustling city of Mumbai, ‘Meri Pyari Nikkii’ is a gripping tale of a courier boy who targets women in happy marriages and demands that they love him like a real wife would. Any woman who refuses to comply meets a fatal end. The series follows the twisted journey of the protagonist as he weaves a web of lies and deceit, leaving a trail of death and destruction in his wake. With an engaging plot and talented cast, the series promises to be a must-watch for fans of the thriller genre.

Speaking about his debut as a producer, Harishankar Verma said, "It's been a long time coming, and I couldn't be more thrilled about this opportunity to finally have the opportunity to produce a project of my own. It’s no less than a dream come true, and it is  very close to my heart. Meri Pyari Nikki is a product of hard work, perseverance, and diligence. Despite having limited resources at my disposal throughout my 20-year career, I poured my heart and soul into creating this series. Producing Meri Pyari Nikkii has been a tremendous learning experience for me; it's been a challenging yet incredibly fulfilling experience to bring Meri Pyari Nikkii to life.” 

“Although I had hoped to release it on a grander scale, circumstances prevented me from doing so. However, the story, climax, and exceptional performances by the cast have garnered an overwhelmingly positive response from the audience. What sets Meri Pyari Nikki apart is its unique and original concept, unlike anything one would find in Hollywood or Bollywood movies. While we are pleased with the viewers' appreciation thus far, we hope and pray for their continued support so that we may create more such intriguing content for their enjoyment,” he added.

Produced by Harishankar Verma under the banner of Shoorra Films, Meri Pyari Nikki is written and directed by Rajeev Singh. The 5-episodic thriller drama features an ensemble cast of Anuj Jadhav, Rajeev Singh, Khushi Dani, Vivek Tripathi, Anuj Bhardwaj, and Pradeep Kumar Tiwari in pivotal roles.
