First On-Screen Collaboration with Rajkummar Rao

The new film will mark the first time Alia Bhatt will share screen space with actor Rajkummar Rao. While both actors have individually earned acclaim for their diverse roles in Hindi cinema, the upcoming project presents an entirely new pairing for audiences.

The casting of Bhatt and Rao brings together two National Award-winning performers, raising anticipation among cinema viewers. Further details about the film’s genre, title, and production schedule are yet to be officially announced.
