Pinkvilla was the first to report that Tamannaah Bhatia and Vijay Varma were roped in to headline director Sujoy’s Ghosh’s segment in Lust Stories 2, which is backed by Ronnie Screwvala, Ashi Dua and Netflix.

Interestingly, the duo were even clicked at Diljit Dosanjh’s recent concert in Mumbai. We now have some more updates on their forthcoming project, and how it all started for the duo.
“Tamannaah and Vijay’s first proper meeting was on the sets of their Sujoy Ghosh film. They hit it off from the word go, and deeply admire each other’s work. They are in a happy space. Meanwhile, Sujoy’s short in the anthology is an out-and-out thriller, which is amazingly combined with the theme of lust. They shot for it at the Mehboob Studios in Bandra for six days, and the film is currently in the post production stage.
