A source close to the development told Midday, “Sara has the charm and mainstream appeal that could align with the Rajshri universe, while Triptii’s nuanced performances in films like Bulbbul and Qala make her a strong candidate to bring a layered approach to the character.” Sara’s established connection with mainstream audiences could make her a natural fit for Barjatya’s family-centric storytelling, while Triptii’s more nuanced, critically acclaimed performances suggest she could bring an emotional depth to the role.
Ayushmann Khurrana and his prospective leading ladies will also play a big role in the final decision of casting. The two actresses are reportedly going to meet Sooraj Barjatya in January 2025 for a look test, and the chemistry between Ayushmann and them will be of prime importance to decide who will get the lead.
In a thrilling turn of events, Ayushmann and Sara Ali Khan are already working on an untitled spy comedy directed by Aakash Kaushik, so it means that the two leads have already begun to form a working relationship. With Triptii Dimri, it would be a new pairing for Ayushmann, and hence it would bring a new on-screen chemistry for audiences to discover.
Sooraj Barjatya’s film, which will be rooted in Indian family values and traditions, is expected to be a beautiful blend of nostalgia and modern sensibilities. Sources revealed that Barjatya was specifically looking for an actor with a strong family appeal to play the new-age Prem, and Ayushmann Khurrana, with his ability to bring innocence and charm to his roles, was seen as the perfect fit.
The movie is expected to go on floors in the summer of 2025, with an anticipated release in 2026. Once the lead pair is finalized, Barjatya will focus on casting the ensemble cast that will bring his family drama to life.
The fans eagerly wait for the magic Sooraj Barjatya will create with his next film. It is bound to be heartwarming and memorable for all those watching on screen, as it features Ayushmann Khurrana in the lead.
