Aayush Sharma approached by ace filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi

Though his debut film LoveYatri (2018) fell flat at the box-office, filmmakers in Bollywood did take notice of newcomer Aayush Sharma. What makes us think so? Well, despite delivering a dud, the young actor has been offered many films in the past few months. However, Aayush seems in no hurry to sign new films left, right and centre.

The latest filmmaker who reportedly approached Aayush a while back is Rajkumar Santoshi. “The filmmaker had approached Aayush for a movie sometime back. Once the script was finalised, the latter was given a narration, following which he gave his nod to the project. It’s a love story replete with comedy and action,” a source revealed.


Aayush Sharma is presently busy preparing for his second film, which is an official remake of Marathi flick Mulshi Pattern (2018). The untitled film is being bankrolled by the actor’s superstar brother-in-law Salman Khan.

“Aayush will sport a new look for his second film. He has been on a red meat diet as he has to gain around 16 kilos for the part. He has already put on over 10 kilos and is working out. He is also learning Marathi as the story is set in rural Maharashtra,” added another source.

HBO criticised for sidelining South Asian identity in 'Harry Potter' casting controversy

HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter reboot is already under fire, this time for casting Italian actress Alessia Leoni as Parvati Patil, a character rooted in Indian culture. The announcement has triggered widespread backlash from fans who accuse the makers of side-lining authentic South Asian representation in favour of what many see as surface-level diversity.

Parvati, originally portrayed by Shefali Chowdhury in the films, is one of the few explicitly Indian characters in the Harry Potter universe. The decision to cast someone with no clear Indian heritage has led to heated discussions across platforms like Reddit and X, with fans calling out what they perceive as performative inclusivity.

This internal strife forced the jury foreperson to urgently alert the judge on Monday morning about a “situation which isn’t very good”, casting serious doubt on their ability to reach a fair verdict.
