Veteran actress Manisha Koirala is reportedly gearing up for her next big project, joining Arbaaz Khan’s upcoming film Raazdar. The development comes nearly two years after her widely appreciated performance in Heeramandi, marking a much-anticipated return to the screen.
Selective Comeback with Strong Roles
Following the success of Heeramandi, Koirala was reportedly approached with multiple offers. However, she remained selective, choosing to focus only on meaningful, author-backed roles that aligned with her artistic vision. Raazdar is said to have met these expectations, leading to her signing the project.

Film Already Under Production
According to reports, Raazdar has already gone on floors earlier this year. The film began with a 25-day shooting schedule in Bhopal, followed by an additional 10-day schedule in Mumbai. Backed by Arbaaz Khan’s production house, the film will feature Koirala alongside Arbaaz Khan and actor Bhuvan Arora, known for his role in Farzi.
