Kajol and Kriti Sanon are teaming up for Do Patti, a film backed by Writer Kanika Dhillon.

Billed as a compelling story, the Netflix film marks Dhillon's maiden production under her newly launched banner, Kathha Pictures.

The writer, whose film credits include Kedarnath, Manmarziyaan and Haseen Dillruba, said she hopes her production house goes on to become a platform that 'empowers stories and storytellers'.

'I am thrilled to embark on this new journey as a producer. Do Patti is a compelling story, very close to my heart as a writer. And such talented actors like Kriti and Kajol and, of course, Netflix... The writer in me feels empowered today that apart from creating the world on paper, I can curate my vision into reality,' Dhillon said in a statement.
