Anil Kapoor paired with French actress Julie Delpy in Ritesh Batra’s next
French actress Julie Delpy is set to star opposite Anil Kapoor in director Ritesh Batra’s upcoming cross-border romantic drama.
The film, currently in pre-production, explores a relationship that unfolds between an Indian man and a French woman brought together by circumstance across continents. Delpy, best known for her work in ‘Before Sunrise’, ‘Before Sunset’, and ‘Before Midnight’, will make her debut in Indian cinema, while Kapoor continues to expand his international portfolio following roles in ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ and ‘Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol’.
Produced by Sikhya Entertainment, the project marks Batra’s return to feature filmmaking after a four-year hiatus. Known for his understated storytelling in ‘The Lunchbox’ and ‘Our Souls at Night’, Batra is expected to bring a quiet emotional depth to the narrative, which blends cultural nuance with universal themes of love and belonging.
