In one clip, we can see veteran lyricist Gulzar arriving on the set and interacting with the cast. Prithviraj is seen in the get-up of a police officer.

"Day 1 ❤️68th film Daayra with the most amazing @meghnagulzar and @therealprithvi …❤️Send love and blessings (sic)," she captioned the video.

Daayra revolves around the topical and diabolical realities in society. It explores crime, punishment, and justice.

Earlier, in a statement, Kareena Kapoor Khan shared, “As I celebrate 25 incredible years in Hindi cinema, I'm thrilled to announce my next film, Daayra, with the incredible Meghna Gulzar in the director’s chair. I've long admired her work, from Talvar to Raazi, and to be directed by her is a dream come true.''

The 45-year-old actress is also happy to collaborate with Prithviraj and is ''drawn to the film's bold, thought-provoking narrative."

''Daayra promises to be a cinematic experience that challenges and inspires, and I look forward to working with Meghna, Prithviraj, and the team at Junglee Pictures on this powerful, timely film,'' she added.

Daayra is co-written by Yash and Sima alongside Meghna. It is produced by Junglee Pictures.
