Earlier this month, mid-day reported that Pavail Gulati had bagged a Karan Johar production opposite Ananya Panday (Fresh jodi alert, Jan 13). It looks like the actor has another new project in his kitty.

Sources tell us that Gulati — who featured in Dobaara, Goodbye, and Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari’s web series Faadu last year — will be seen in a mystery thriller opposite Rakul Preet Singh. “The actors began shooting for the film late last year in Mumbai. The yet-untitled project is being helmed by writer-filmmaker Nikhil Mahajan,” says a source.
