Wishing filmmaker Meghna Gulzar on her birthday, actress Kareena Kapoor Khan shared candid behind-the-scenes pictures with the director from the sets of their upcoming film Daayra.

Kareena, in a note on Instagram, called Meghna a "tigress".

"Daayra is nothing short of one of my most special films as it marks my first with the kind, gentle, passionate, smart and ever so sharp Meghna Gulzar... Happy Birthday you Tigress... So grateful our paths crossed," she captioned the post.

In September, the film's lead stars Kareena and Prithviraj Sukumaran shared glimpses from the first day of shoot.

From discussing scenes with director Meghna Gulzar, trying look tests, shooting scenes, and reading scripts, the actor then offered an intimate insight into their preparations.

In a special highlight, veteran lyricist Gulzar also arrived on the sets and engaged in a conversation with the team.

Likewise, Prithviraj expressed a feeling of thrill in his post as he added, "#Daayra is officially rolling. A new story, a new journey that challenges and excites in equal parts. Thrilled to be stepping into this world."

Director Meghna Gulzar dedicated a special post to mark the beginning of a journey of "blurred and crossed lines".

Daayra was announced earlier this year when Kareena confirmed her part in the film."I've always said that I'm a director's actor... and this time I cannot wait to work with one of the finest director's we have, @meghnagulzar & alongside the magnificent @therealprithvi, whose work I deeply admire. To my dream team, #Daayra let's do this," she wrote on Instagram.

Prithviraj, too, expressed his excitement about working with Meghna Gulzar and Kareena.

Daayra, according to its makers, tells a story that will "compel viewers to reflect on society and its institutions".
