Ranveer Singh recently announced an exciting new film with Aditya Dhar, featuring a remarkable cast that includes Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna and Arjun Rampal. According to a report, the 19-year-old Sara Arjun has been cast as Ranveer's love interest in the film. While her role is described as relatively small within this male-centric narrative, it signifies her transition from being recognised as a child actress in Hindi and Telugu cinema to taking on a leading role. Sara previously portrayed a young Aishwarya Rai in Ponniyin Selvan.
A Peeping Moon report mentioned, "Although her role is said to be relatively small in this male-dominated story, this film marks her transition to a lead heroine after years of being known as a child actress in Hindi and Telugu cinema." It's important to note that this casting has yet to be officially confirmed by the filmmakers.
The 20-year age gap between Ranveer Singh and Sara Arjun has sparked backlash among netizens. Some expressed that it feels strange to see someone so young in a romantic role, even though it’s common for actresses to start their careers at that age. There are also voices applauding the discourse around the issue.
The upcoming film is being produced by Jyoti Deshpande of Jio Studios, alongside Lokesh Dhar and Aditya Dhar under their banner B62 Studios, following their successful collaboration on Article 370. Principal photography began in July, and Ranveer Singh is scheduled to resume filming in November after wrapping up a successful first month in Thailand.
The film's team anticipates that Ranveer will deliver a standout performance under Aditya Dhar's direction. Ranveer announced the project on Instagram in July, expressing gratitude to his fans for their support and promising an extraordinary cinematic experience, emphasizing that this project is a deeply personal journey for him. Ranveer shared the big news on his Instagram handle and wrote, "This one is for my fans, who have been so patient with me, and been clamouring for a turn like this. I love you all, and I promise you, this time, a cinematic experience like never before. With your blessings, we embark on this great, big motion picture adventure with spirited energy and pure intent. This time, it’s personal."
