Mumbai: Amitabh Bachchan and Katrina Kaif could star as father and daughter in an upcoming slice-of-life comedy.
According to a news report, the film is to be directed by Queen helmer Vikas Bahl and is tentatively titled as Deadly.
"The film is tentatively titled Deadly, as the story is centred around a funeral. Katrina loved the basic premise, which essentially traces the protagonist's journey of self-discovery with humorous undertones, and gave an instant go-ahead to Vikas," the news report quoted a source as saying.
The source further added that Katrina, who has primarily enthralled fans as a mainstream star over her nearly-17-year career, is looking to experiment with new genres now and the project fits the bill at this point. The makers have reportedly approached Senior Bachchan with an offer for the central role, and an official announcement of the project will be made soon as he gives a confirmation.

She also had a cameo in the Big B-starrer Sarkar (2005) and featured with Bollywood icon Big B and superstar Aamir Khan in Thugs Of Hindostan (2018). Recently, Big B and Katrina played father and daughter in a new advertisement.
