Kabir Singh actor Kiara Advani will headline Ruchi Narain’s Guilty, produced by Karan Johar’s digital content division Dharmatic Entertainment. The film will be out on Netflix later in the year.
According to a press release, Guilty is about a musician whose boyfriend, a college heartthrob, is accused of rape by a “small-town girl”. The film “explores the different versions of truth” and “makes us question who is truly guilty in such circumstances”.

She starred alongside Shahid Kapoor in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Kabir Singh, the Hindi remake of the 2017 Telugu hit Arjun Reddy. Released on June 21, the film has earned in the vicinity of Rs 88 crore as of Tuesday, according to trade reports.
