Actor Babil Khan will star alongside Malayalam actress Anna Ben. Both will headline an upcoming Indo-American co-productionbandbet, Yakshi, reports PTI.

Written and directed by Karan Sunil, the short film is said to be a unique blend Indian folklore with contemporary storytelling.

Hopes for India are high as the top shuttlers are participating, paving the way for the Paris Games. HS Prannoy, seeded seventh, will face China's Lu Guangzu in the opening round. Meanwhile, Kidambi Srikanth will face second seed Anthony Ginting.

Dinesh Khanna had achieved the rare feat of winning gold in 1965.

Yakshi is produced by Lambe Log Productions and Full Spectrum Features.

Kalki 2898 AD actress Anna Ben shared BTS pictures from the set on her Instagram handle.

She wrote, ''This was truly written in the stars ✨❤️ had the most amazing time working with these wonderful human beings. @ksunzz @lambelogproductions thank you for trusting me to be Maya. Thank you for letting me discover a whole new side as an artist. And most importantly giving everyone a safe space to work and collaborate.''

Raving Babil, Anna wrote, ''@babil.i.k you are an absolute darling! I hope we get to work together more and can’t wait to see you do all the wonderful things you are dreaming to do.''
