According to the filmmakers, ‘Daayra’ isn’t your usual whodunit. The plot revolves around single disturbing act and explores how it sparks reactions that ripple across society shaping public opinion and challenging conventional ideas of right and wrong.
Meghna Gulzar has described the film as reflection on society and its institutions pushing audiences to question rather than offering simple answers.
Prithviraj took to Instagram to share the wrap-up moment, writing, “That’s a wrap on #Daayra… The story we’ve lived on set will soon come alive for audiences everywhere. Grateful for this journey and can’t wait for you to witness it on screen in cinemas in 2026.”
Kareena earlier shared behind-the-scenes glimpses from the first day of shooting. “Day 1. 68th film Daayra with the most amazing @meghnagulzar and @therealprithvi… Send love and blessings,” she captioned.
The film also saw veteran lyricist Gulzar visiting the sets, engaging with the team, and adding his creative touch to the atmosphere.
Prithviraj described his first days on set as a thrilling experience, saying, “#Daayra is officially rolling. A new story, a new journey that challenges and excites in equal parts. Thrilled to be stepping into this world.” Director Meghna Gulzar herself shared heartfelt notes highlighting the film’s theme of “blurred and crossed lines.”
Kareena had expressed her enthusiasm even at the announcement stage: “I’ve always said that I’m a director’s actor… and this time I cannot wait to work with one of the finest directors we have, @meghnagulzar & alongside the magnificent @therealprithvi, whose work I deeply admire. To my dream team, #Daayra let’s do this.”
Prithviraj too described the story as one that stayed with him from the moment he heard it, adding his happiness to work with the talented cast and crew.
