She has also signed Kuku Ki Kundali with Karan Johar and Bhuvan Bam . Now, she is gearing up to begin work on her next project, DC, which also marks the acting debut of maverick director Lokesh Kanagaraj . DC is directed by Arun Matheswaran and features music by Anirudh Ravichander . It is a romantic action thriller, with Kanagaraj playing a character named Devadas and Gabbi playing Chandra, with their initials forming the title.The film is slated for summer 2026 release.



According to a source,” Wamiqa is currently stationed in Madurai for a 45-day schedule. The team has been filming in Tamil Nadu for what’s described as an intense, non-stop shoot that’s testing her physical and emotional limits.” The film is packed with action sequences, marking a striking shift from the kind of roles audiences usually associate her with.



The source further adds, “She’s been completely immersed in prep. Wamiqa has been working with a dialogue coach to learn the local dialect and perfect her lines. It’s a challenging process, but she’s taking it on with full focus and commitment. The role demands authenticity, and she’s making sure every detail feels real.”



Wamiqa’s last release was Rajkummar Rao led Bhool Chuk Maaf directed by Karan Sharma.The film was one of the big success stories of the film as it went on to earn over Rs 70 crore at the box office.
