Pakistani actress Veena Mallik is preparing herself for a psychological drama titled, 'Cottage No. 9' to be directed by Navin Batra. `The story revolves around a couple who is married and one of them is schizophrenic. The relationship gets badly affected.

Batra says, ` Veena has no hang ups in front of the camera or off the camera unlike other actresses. She is open to doing some bold scenes in picture.`

The director is yet to decide about male lead. He is considering actors like Gurmeet Choudhary and Kay Kay Menon, but nothing has been finalised.
