Dhanush and filmmaker Aanand L Rai, who previously collaborated on Raanjhanaa (2013) and Atrangi Re (2021), are teaming up again for Tere Ishq Mein. The romance drama, which was announced last year, is slated to go on floors this October. It appears that Triptii Dimri, who was in consideration to play the leading lady, is not in the reckoning any more.
Latest reports indicate that Kriti Sanon is in advanced discussion with Rai. The actor, who heard the narration of the action drama a couple of months ago, liked her character and how it drives the narrative. She is said to have met Rai earlier this week and committed to playing Dhanush’s leading lady in principle.
The paperwork is expected to be closed by this month-end. The makers are also in talks with a few other actors for the parallel male lead. They are likely to finalise the primary cast soon.
ADVERTISEMENT Sequel spree Five months after Ajay Devgn’s Shaitaan emerged a hit at the box-office, the makers are developing its sequel. Once the script is finalised, the actor and the makers will take a call on when they can take it on floors. Even as Ajay is currently filming Son of Sardaar 2 in the UK, he has Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again and Rajkumar Gupta’s Raid 2 lined up for release.
The actor also has De De Pyaar De 2 in production and Drishyam 3 and Golmaal 5 in the pipeline. Having previously starred in Total Dhamaal (2019), it looks like Ajay features in the highest number of Bollywood film franchises. Gaadi bul.
