Taapsee Pannu is best known for her acting chops, but she’s also set to produce films via her production house, Outsiders Films. The actress has now announced her latest venture in collaboration with Viacom18 Studios. According to Filmfare, the film is titled Dhak Dhak and features an impressive line-up of female stars—Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ratna Pathak Shah, Dia Mirza and Sanjana Sanghi. Directed by Tarun Dudeja, the film is about four women who undertake an extraordinary motorcycle journey to the highest motorable pass in the world.

Dhak Dhak is co-produced by Taapsee Pannu, Pranjal Khandhdiya, and Ayush Maheshwari. The film is written by Tarun Dudeja and Parijat Joshi. The first look of the lead cast has been unveiled alongside the announcement. It sees the stars on motorcycles.

Talking about her production venture, Taapsee Pannu said, ‘We have attempted to give audiences a visual experience that they have rarely seen on screen. Dhak Dhak narrates the story of four women who realise that freedom has to be owned and never given. Viacom18 Studios has been a crucial part of my journey in the film industry, from Chashme Baddoor, Shabaash Mithu, and now to Dhak Dhak. I am sure that this ride will be an enriching one.’

Meanwhile, Taapsee Pannu who was last seen in Looop Lapeta, the Indian adaptation of the German experimental film Run Lola Run, is set to appear in the sports biopic Shabaash Mithu in which she plays cricketer Mithali Raj.
