Sony Pictures Films India's Unfair & Lovely is touted to be a rib-tickling comedy film that will take a humourous dig at India’s obsession with fair skin. The film is said to be set in the backdrop of Haryana and will chronicle the story of a dusky Indian girl tamed by biases and prejudices held by the society against dark-skinned girls. The film's screenplay is penned by Anil Rodhan and Kunal Mandekar, while its music will be composed by Amit Trivedi. The film is slated to hit the silver screens in 2021.
