Saiyami Kher is set to usher in the new year on a promising and creatively fulfilling note as she begins work on an untitled new project helmed by celebrated designer-turned-filmmaker Vikram Phadnis. Produced by Reel Euphoria in association with Knight Sky Movies, the film has officially gone on floors, marking an important new chapter in Saiyami’s steadily evolving career.
The upcoming film is a drama, with Saiyami headlining the narrative in a strong, emotionally driven lead role. She will be seen sharing screen space with Vineet Kumar Singh and Tahir Raj Bhasin, making the project one of the most compelling ensemble-driven ventures currently in production. Known for choosing roles with depth and substance, Saiyami’s association with the film further reinforces her inclination towards meaningful, content-led storytelling.
Announcing the project, Saiyami took to Instagram to share a glimpse from her first day on set, accompanied by a spiral-bound copy of the film’s script. Her caption reflected a quiet sense of gratitude and optimism, reading, “And today every silent prayer finds its way home,” followed by, “New Year, New Beginning. As always, need all the wishes.” The post beautifully captured the emotion of starting a new journey—rooted in hope, excitement, and creative anticipation.
This film marks Vikram Phadnis’ third directorial venture and notably his first Hindi directorial, adding further significance to the collaboration. Known for his aesthetic sensibility and emotional storytelling, Vikram’s transition into Hindi cinema with this project has already piqued industry interest.
Sharing her thoughts, Saiyami said she couldn’t have asked for a better way to begin 2026. She revealed that the story came to her at a particularly meaningful moment in her life and resonated deeply with her. Calling the role challenging and emotionally honest, she expressed gratitude for being trusted with the part and excitement about starting the year with a film that truly excites her as an actor.
With shooting now underway, this untitled drama becomes Saiyami Kher’s first project of the year, reaffirming her commitment to powerful narratives and performances that leave a lasting impact.
