Producer Rhea Kapoor and actor Kareena Kapoor Khan have worked previously in the 2018 female friendship film Veere Di Wedding. Earlier this year, the two were rumoured to be working on a new project as producer and actor but the details were not revealed.
Though there have been many women-centric films made earlier in Bollywood, many of them were led by a male actor and not many movies have focused entirely on the female protagonist. However, Bollywood is slowly and gradually dropping the necessity of male leads in films and creating more women-led films. The list includes Veere Di Wedding, Jee Le Zara, Begum Jaan and Gulaab Gang. A new addition to the list will be producer Rhea Kapoor and actor Kareena Kapoor Khan's second collaboration with Tabu and Kriti Sanon.

The Crew Announcement
Rhea Kapoor shared a post on her Instagram that read, "It's been three years, we've missed you. But I think all this time was worth it. Can't wait to tell stories again. Something is coming". Shortly after this, the producer shared a Vogue magazine cover video of Tabu, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Kriti Sanon and wrote, "After three years of dreaming, writing, planning I present to you with @ektarkapoor on the November Cover of @vogueindia our ‘dream cast’ which is now a reality. ‘The Crew’ starring @tabutiful @kareenakapoorkhan and @kritisanon starts shoot February 2023. Directed by @rajoosworld written by @nidsmehra and Mehul Suri."
The upcoming movie titled The Crew will reportedly be a comedy film and the lead roles will be essayed by Kriti Sanon, Tabu and Kareena Kapoor Khan. The plot of the film will be about the airline industry and follow the lives of three women struggling and hustling everyday in order to achieve their dreams. However, their life takes an unfortunate turn when they are trapped in a web of lies. This will be the first time that the three actors will be sharing the screen together.
Earlier it was rumoured that Rhea Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan were engaged in preparations for Veere Di Wedding 2 but it turns out that the meeting held earlier this year was probably regarding The Crew. The movie will start shooting in February but the expected release date is not yet announced.
