Mumbai: Veteran actor Neena Gupta will feature in Hindi-Vindi, a musical drama exploring intergenerational language barriers.
The movie will also star Mihir Ahuja, known for Super 30 and Dhaakad and actor-singer Shannon K.
The project will be directed by Ali Sayed from a script he wrote with Jay Sharma. It will be shot in Australia.

I am also looking forward to working with the young and talented filmmakers Ali, Jayant, and Aniket from 24Six Films. They are passionate about telling interesting stories. I am excited about the shooting in Australia,” Gupta said in a statement.
