Arjun Kapoor and Bhumi Pednekar are set to captivate audiences with their on-screen chemistry in the upcoming romantic thriller, “The Ladykiller.” Directed by Ajay Bahl, known for his work on “Blurr,” this film marks the first collaboration between Arjun and Bhumi. Movie enthusiasts can mark their calendars for the cinematic release of “The Ladykiller” on November 3.
The trailer provides a glimpse into the story, with Arjun Kapoor portraying an outsider who visits the picturesque region of Uttarakhand. Here, he becomes entranced by an enigmatic woman brought to life by Bhumi Pednekar.
