After Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal, the makers of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “Love And War” are all set to unveil actress-entrepreneur Soundous Moufakhir’s look this week. Variety India has learned that she will be playing the role of Vicky Kaushal’s glamorous love interest in the movie. Her track is crucial in building the drama between Vicky Kaushal and Alia Bhatt’s characters in the film.
In the film, Vicky Kaushal’s character and hers are expected to marry, but the relationship falls apart due to tragic circumstances. It is also learned that her role will not be a cameo, but rather an extended special appearance. She has filmed some intense moments with the “Chhaava” actor and is likely her most challenging big-screen outing yet.
