According to sources close to the development, Varun and Janhvi are in talks to reunite for a romantic comedy to be directed by Shashank Khaitan. “When it’s Shashank and Varun, everyone assumes the film to be a part of the Dulhania franchise. Over the last year, Shashank has developed a fresh romantic comedy with a quirky title and is in advanced stages of discussion with Varun and Janhvi to play the lead. It will be quintessential romantic comedy that the Hindi Film Industry is known for over the years,” revealed a source close to the development.

Apart from Varun and Janhvi, the filmmaker will be getting another pair of actors to play a couple in the film and multiple names are being considered at the moment. The Karan Johar production will go on floors around September 2024 with a marathon schedule at real locations of India. “The team is working on giving finishing touches to the script and intends to roll from the end of September 2024. It will be a big release in 2025 and will celebrate love, and relationship with a tadka,” the source added.
