Rajkummar Rao is planning to join hands with Wamiqa Gabbi for a romantic comedy helmed by Karan Sharma

Rajkummar Rao is undoubtedly one of the most versatile actors in the industry. The actor, who is currently looking forward to the release of ‘Srikanth - Aa Raha Hai Sabki Aankhein Kholne’, is planning to join hands with Wamiqa Gabbi for a romantic comedy helmed by Karan Sharma, best known for the Huma Qureshi-led web series, Maharani.

According to a new report, the two actors’ rom-com will be backed by Dinesh Vijan. The movie revolves around a quirky story set in small-town of India, apparently following the lives of two individuals caught in an unusual situation. The director of the film plans to start the yet-to-be-titled project around July. Karan, who is directing Dinesh’s production, Shiddat 2 with Wamiqa and Sunny Kaushal, will wait until July so that Raj can wrap up Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video with Triptii Dimri, and Wamiqa will be through with Baby John, co-starring Varun Dhawan and Keerthy Suresh.

This new film will mark the 6th collaboration of Raj with the producer after Stree (2018), Made in China (2019), Roohi, Hum Do Hamare Do (2021), and the upcoming Stree 2.
