Sonakshi vs Jyothika: A Legal Storm Is Brewing

It’s not every day that two strong female leads step into the courtroom, not for awards or roles, but to bring a gripping legal drama to life. Sonakshi Sinha and Jyothika are ready to lock horns in director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari’s next film, which promises raw intensity and powerful performances.

Known for films like Bareilly Ki Barfi and Panga, Ashwiny is now working on a darker script, produced by Excel Entertainment and Harman Baweja Studios. Originally planned with Kareena Kapoor Khan and Kiara Advani in mind, the cast changed direction with Sonakshi and Jyothika now leading the project.

The team reworked the story to fit this pairing. Sonakshi plays a lawyer with a difficult past, while Jyothika brings calm strength to her role. Both are expected to bring weight to the film with their contrasting styles. The movie is being shot in locations like Madh Island and Malvani, with courtroom scenes built on custom sets.

Currently being shot in parts of Mumbai like Madh Island and Vile Parle, the film is shaping up to be a major OTT release in 2026. If it delivers what it promises, it won’t just be a courtroom drama — it could be one of the defining performances of both actresses and a bold new move for Ashwiny as a director in the digital space.
