Early this month, Parineeti Chopra started shooting for the Hindi remake of the American film The Girl On The Train. The yet untitled film, directed by Ribhu Dasgupta, who has previously helmed TE3N starring megastar Amitabh Bachchan. Based on the 2015 bestseller by Paula Hawkins, the film narrates the story of a divorcee woman who gets entangled in a missing persons investigation that throws her life to the brink. Now adding to the excitement, Pari shared her first look from the film and it will certainly give you thrills and chills!

Talking about Parineeti's character, Ribhu informed a leading daily that the actress plays an alcoholic, which is a layered and intense character. “We prepped a lot in Mumbai before arriving here but a character actually shapes up only during the shoot and I can see it happening beautifully, right in front of my eyes. We have chosen a colour palette of black, grey, brown and deep green for Parineeti, with a focus on her dialogue delivery and body language. It’s an exciting process,” he exulted.
Since the film is a thriller, the director refused to divulge too many details but revealed that the scene with an injured Parineeti in a bath tub (shared in the first look) comes at a crucial point in the film. “It’s a turning point in the narrative and will really surprise you. We have been shooting here for the last 15-20 days, almost 16 hours a day, and I have to say that Parineeti has a lot to offer, her talent is still untapped,” he asserted.
The psychological thriller will be produced by Reliance Entertainment and also features Aditi Rao Hydari and Kirti Kulhari. The team is looking to wrap up by the third week of September.
