Vaani Kapoor will play the lead role in "Badtameez Gill", an upcoming movie from filmmaker Navjot Gulati.
Described as a "coming of modern-age dramedy", the film is about a girl (Kapoor) and her family set in Bareilly and London, a press release said.
The project, which will soon start shooting in Bareilly, will also feature "Jubilee" star Aparshakti Khurana in the role of Kapoor's brother and veteran actor Paresh Rawal as her father.
"We needed a gorgeous, confident girl who can be a riot for her family & her friends. Vaani is this person in real life. So, when we met her, we knew we had found our lead! She will light up the screen with her presence and hopefully we will entertain a lot of people with our film," producers Nickky Bhagnani and Viicky Bhagnani said in a statement.
"Badtameez Gill" is produced by Nickky Bhagnani and Viicky Bhagnani, Ankur Takrani and Akshad Ghone.
Gulati is best known for writing movies such as "Running Shaadi" and "Ginny Weds Sunny". His directorial credits include "Jai Mummy Di" and the upcoming movie "Pooja Meri Jaan".
Besides "Badtameez Gill", Kapoor will also feature in "Khel Khel Mein", co-starring Akshay Kumar, Taapsee Pannu, Ammy Virk, Aditya Seal, Pragya Jaiswal and Fardeen Khan.

“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”

Supreme Court ruling on socialism, secularism
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
