EXCLUSIVE: Sidharth Malhotra likely to star in Inder Kumar's next romcom

Sidharth Malhotra is finally back in the bay after shooting the gruelling climax scenes for his next release SherShaah - the biopic on slain Kargil warrior Vikram Batra. But after Marjaavaan and Shershaah, Sid has green lit not one but two projects. We had informed you that he's liked a script which is a slice of life drama bankrolled by T-Series.

Now, we hear he's most likely to sign another film this week. A source, close to the development, tells us, "Sid has been offered a film by Indra Kumar. It's not an out and out comedy but in the romcom space. Indra wanted to do a fun, fresh romantic film with youngsters. He is putting everything together at this point."

Kumar, who last directed Total Dhamaal that ran in theatres for over six weeks and collected around Rs 150 crore at the box office, approached Sid after finalising the concept. "Sid met Indra and heard the whole script. There were a few minor alterations they discussed about. He is back from Kargil and is meeting the filmmaker again for the final narration. He is most likely going to sign on the dotted line because verbally, he and his team have given a go ahead already." If all goes well, the film will go on floors towards the end of this year, after he wraps up work on Shershaah. We will wait for the official announcement soon.
