Ileana took to her social media to share an announcement post for the project. The caption hinted on the storyline that revolves around Indian stereotype of fair skinned women. In her caption, the actress wrote, “kabhi socha hai ki hero ko hamesha heroine ke gore gore gaal hi kyun beautiful lagte hain? Well, yeh soch hui purani, it’s time to be #UnfairNLovely. Super thrilled to reunite with @balwindersinghjanjua after #Mubarakan and work with the awesome @RandeepHooda (sic.)”
Unfair & Lovely, touted to be a comedy, will be shot in various locations across India. The film will be jointly bankrolled by Sony Picture films India and Movie Tunne Productions. The forthcoming film is slated for a 2021 release.
