Tu producer, main star

Shraddha Kapoor

After having only one release in Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar in 2023, Shraddha Kapoor, in a fan meet-and-greet session earlier this year, revealed that she was working on a few projects that included a mythological adaptation and a time-travel story. Now, mid-day has learnt that she has also liked a drama to be backed by her rumoured beau, Rahul Mody, who co-wrote Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar. If things work out, the actor will not only headline the film, but also turn producer with it.

Little is known about the movie's plot at present as the makers are keeping details under wraps. A source reveals, "The talks are in the nascent stage, so it can't be determined whether this will be her next project. But Shraddha has liked the central idea. She plans to co-produce it along with Rahul's production house."

Director Luv Ranjan's romantic comedy was Kapoor's first release in three years since the action fare, Baaghi 2 (2020). This year, we hear the actor wants to keep the momentum going with Stree 2, the sequel to Rajkummar Rao-led horror comedy, Stree (2018). The source adds, "Stree 2 is one of the year's most-awaited films. Going forward, Shraddha wants to carefully select her projects, choosing ones that evoke a similar kind of buzz. She also doesn't want long gaps between her films."
