Back after seven years…

 Zoya Akhtar has brought Parmeet Sethi back from a seven-year hiatus. He plays a baddie in her upcoming film, Dil Dhadakne Do. The actor was last seen in the short story, Puran Mashi, in Sanjay Gupta's Dus Kahaniyaan in 2007.

A source close to the film told Mirror, "Parmeet was really surprised when he got a call from Zoya. But at the same time, he was thrilled too because he had loved her two earlier films, Luck By Chance and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. He did not take long to give his nod to the project."

When we contacted Parmeet, his wife Archana Puran Singh confirmed the news saying, "Yes, my husband is a part of Zoya's next. He was not worried about the length of the role as it's such a good offer. It will be lovely to see him back on screen. He had put a brake on his acting career when he started writing his directorial debut Badmaash Company."
