Meanwhile, 'Motichoor Chaknachoor' marks the directorial debut of the popular television director Debamitra Hassan on the big screen. The film stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Athiya Shetty in pivotal roles. The duo commenced the shooting of the film recently and it is quite an unusual pair to watch on screen.

According to reports, Athiya will be seen playing a small-town north Indian woman, and she has undergone rigorous training under a language coach to perfect her dialect and accent for the role. The actress who made her debut with the 2015 film 'Hero' opposite Sooraj Pancholi and then featured in the ensemble cast of 'Mubarakan' co-starring Arjun Kapoor is yet to make her mark in Bollywood. Perhaps 'Motichoor Chaknachoor' alongside Nawazuddin Siddiqui could fetch her the critical acclaim as an actress. The release date of the film is yet to be announced, however, it is expected to release by the end of the year.
