Yami Gautam is set to reteam with her Vicky Donor co-star Ayushmann Khurrana for Bala.
To be directed by Stree helmer Amar Kaushik, Bala is set in a small town and revolves around a prematurely balding man and a woman facing prejudice because of her skin colour.
The film, which goes on floors Monday, also features Bhumi Pednekar. According to a press release, Yami will tap into a quirky character that is billed as Lucknow ki supermodel.
"Excitement is in the hair... err air! The shooting for #Bala begins today!" she wrote on Twitter.
Produced by Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films, the film also features Saurabh Shukla, Jaaved Jaaferi and Seema Pahwa.
