Shraddha Kapoor signed opposite Sushant Singh Rajput in Nitesh Tiwari's next?

[ad_1]

Earlier this year, we had reported that Sushant Singh Rajput will be cast in the next directorial of Dangal director Nitesh Tiwari. And now, the next update on that front is that Shraddha Kapoor has been signed for the film. A few media reports have asserted that the actress is keen on doing this venture.

Just a couple of days ago, Nitesh Tiwari took to social media to make an announcement about a film. The said venture was to be produced by Sajid Nadiadwala in association with Fox Star Studios. Although further details were maintained under wraps, the post stated that the cast announcements will be made soon.

On the other hand, speculative reports have been stating that the cast has been locked for the said venture. In our earlier report it was also mentioned, that the film is set against the backdrop of college and focuses on student drama. To be more specific, it revolves around the life of engineering college students and how to embrace the success-failure of lives. Incidentally, Sushant Singh Rajput has been an engineering student in the past but dropped out of the profession to pursue his dream of acting.

As for Shraddha Kapoor, the makers are yet to make the announcement since the actress is yet to sign on the dotted line. She also has a few projects that are currently in the pipeline. While she has almost wrapped up the multi-lingual, Prabhas starrer Saaho, her next would be the Saina Nehwal biopic.

Sushant Singh Rajput, as of now, has finished Abhishek Chaubey’s Son Chiriya. He has now shifted focus to the much delayed Kedarnath which is supposed to mark the debut of Sara Ali Khan.

Hence, considering the hectic schedule of the duo, it is being said that this Nitesh Tiwari directorial may only go on floor in November. The two of them are expected to allot dates in bulk since the makers are keen on having a start-to-end shoot schedule.

If you remember Ankita Lokhande as the demure girl from Pavitra Rishta, then here’s something that will completely blow your mind! While we have seen many actresses shedding their quintessential bahu image in the past, this time around we see Ankita shedding her de-glam avatar. The actress shared one of her glamorous photoshoots in which she features in the 60s inspired look.

In fact, it was in her captions, where Ankita Lokhande mentioned that all of this deck-up is a part of her tribute to Helenji. Helen, who is known for her dances in Bollywood films, has many hits like ‘Piya Tu’ (Caravan), ‘Mehbooba Mehbooba’ (Sholay), ‘Mungda’ (Inkaar) amongst others to her credit. In her latest photos, however, Ankita donned a look inspired by Helen’s much popular cabaret avatar.

In the next picture, the actress revealed that she has not only donned Helen’s avatar but has also put on her dance shoes. Ankita gave a glimpse of her dance performance on stage in this picture. She also added a caption to it saying, “She always watched the world through glittering eyes. She saw everything sparkle like starry night skies. And sometimes when her world become a little dimmer. That was when she knew It was her turn to shimmer #retro#tributetohelenji.”

Not divulging further details, Ankita posted all these pictures on her Instagram page. On the film front, the actress has been planning on making a Bollywood debut since a long time. After many offers, she was finally roped in for the Kangana Ranaut starrer Manikarnika – The Queen of Jhansi. The actress is said to play the key role of Jhalkarbai, one of the closest associates of Rani Laxmibai who takes command of the Jhansi army.
