In May, mid-day reported that director Rahul Dholakia had roped in Pratik Gandhi for his next centred on firefighters, after Saif Ali Khan bowed out of it due to a busy date diary (Putting out a fire before Fire rolls, May 26). Now, the latest development is that Saiyami Kher has joined the cast of the action drama, Agnee, which is being produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s Excel Entertainment.
“The film pays homage to the city’s firefighters. On hearing the narration, Saiyami instantly loved it and gave her nod. The actor is expected to begin filming her portions this month. The movie will be primarily shot in Mumbai and Delhi,” says a source close to the team.
The offering, written by Vijay Maurya, will be Kher’s first on-screen collaboration with Gandhi, who shot to fame with his brilliant performance in Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story (2020).
Besides Agnee, Kher will be seen in R Balki’s Ghoomer, and Breathe: Into The Shadows 3 opposite Abhishek Bachchan. She also has the Telugu movie, Highway, opposite Anand Deverakonda in the pipeline.

It’s already known that a goat, one of the main characters in upcoming social satire Yeh Hai Bakrapur, is named Shah Rukh, after the superstar Shah Rukh Khan. And now, it seems that the promotional song of the film has been inspired by Om Shanti Om, one of SRK’s blockbusters. Composed by music band Agnee, the number has been written by Panchhi Jalonvi and sung by K. Mohan and Keerthi Sagathia.
Writer-director Janaki Vishwanathan, who has won National award for her Tamil film Kutty, says, “The song symbolises all the glorious things that Bollywood represents; it’s our tribute to the industry.”
The film, featuring Anshuman Jha, Yaushika Verma, Asif Basra, Amit Sial, Utkarsh Mazumdar, Suruchi Aulakh, Faiz Khan and Shameem Khan, revolves around the family of the Qureshis and their pet goat, Shah Rukh. Circumstances lead to the animal acquiring star status in his village and beyond. Soon enough, people start fighting for a piece of the live goat.
Yeh Hai Bakrapur, produced by Ramesh Sriivatsava Aruunachalam, releases May 9.
