Parineeti Chopra will be seen playing the role of an undercover agent in Ribhu Dasgupta's upcoming action thriller. The actor-director duo is currently waiting for the release of the Hindi remake of The Girl On The Train. According to reports, the yet-untitled film revolves around a covert rescue operation of Indian agents, led by Chopra's protagonist. The film will be a multi-starrer featuring actors like Rajit Kapur, Kay Kay Menon, Dibyendu Bhattacharya and Hardy Sandhu, among others.
PARINEETI CHOPRA TO LEAD COVERT OPERATION IN NEXT FILM
Parineeti Chopra will be playing a strong role in the woman-centric film, to be directed by Ribhu Dasgupta. A source close to the development told the news agency PTI, "It is not (set in) an India-Pakistan backdrop. The film has Parineeti as a covert agent, she is leading the operation. The film is also about her personal journey and her revenge."
The project is scheduled to go on floors in March 2021. It will be produced by Reliance Entertainment. The makers are in the process of scouting locations and getting permissions to shoot amid the coronavirus pandemic.
PARINEETI IN THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN REMAKE
Last year, Parineeti Chopra shot for Ribhu Dasgupta's The Girl On The Train Hindi remake in London. Set in the UK, the film also stars Aditi Rao Hydari, Kirti Kulhari and Avinash Tiwary. After wrapping up the film, Parineeti took to social media to bid farewell to her character in the film. Calling it a "life changing" experience, Parineeti said that the character will stay with her forever.
She wrote, "So, I leave London after 7 weeks, finishing The Girl On The Train. Words fail me. Feelings overwhelm me. This is a film that has for the first time, stayed with me after I've finished it. A character that will live inside me permanently. I miss her. I miss playing her. I feel like I've grown up. I feel so much. But most of all, I feel grateful. Life changing, in an understatement..."
She added, "I'm smiling as I write this, and with that, I head back home - looking forward, with my heart full..."

ABOUT THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN?
The Girl On The Train is the official Hindi remake of the Hollywood psychological thriller The Girl On The Train. For the adaptation, Parineeti has stepped into the shoes of Emily Blunt. The original film hit the screens in 2016, and was based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Paula Hawkins. It revolved around Rachel, an alcoholic divorcee, who is shattered by her broken marriage and travels aimlessly on the train to New York every day. She gets fixated on a seemingly perfectly happy couple during her daily commute but things take a drastic turn when she gets entangled in the investigation of a missing woman.
PARINEETI'S UPCOMING FILMS
Apart from The Girl On The Train Hindi remake and Ribhu Dasgupta's untitled film, Parineeti will be seen in Dibakar Banerjee's Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar. The film was scheduled to release in March 2020. However, as the theatres remained closed due to the novel coronavirus pandemic its release was delayed. The makers are yet to decide the new release date of the film. She has also been preparing for the biopic of badminton champ Saina Nehwal.
