Known for such films as 1920 (2008), Kshanam (2016), and Commando 2 (2017), Adah Sharma has added a new exciting project to her upcoming line-up. The actress has revealed that she is set to star in her first-ever romantic comedy in Telugu. Titled Meet Cute, the forthcoming film will be produced by actor Nani and directed by his sister, Deepthi Ganta.
Delighted, Sharma tells an Indian daily that it feels great to be doing a light-hearted, breezy film for a change. “This is going to be totally different from any of the characters that I have portrayed so far in Telugu cinema. It’s my first ever rom-com in Telugu. I’ve done a light-hearted role in Heart Attack (2014) but that was a commercial film. I’m usually known for doing intense films, which I love, but it feels great to be doing a light-hearted, breezy film for a change,” says the actress.
Showering praises on her producer, superstar Nani, Sharma says, “Nani has constantly been pushing the boundaries in Telugu cinema, be it in terms of genre or content. He has always looked to offer something new to the audience and he does not shy away from experimenting. That’s something I love doing too, so I am delighted to be a part of this project.”
After her short film Tindey by Seema Desai, Sharma is set to work with a female director yet again and she is quite thrilled to see more women filmmakers wielding the megaphone. “It is important to have a woman’s perspective too in cinema and the whole movie-watching experience is different when it is shown through a woman’s eyes. For me personally, it is more about gelling with the director and making sure we are on the same page, rather than the person’s gender,” she says.
She adds, “It is exciting to work with Deepthi. She is a director who likes to go through each scene in detail, which is refreshing. I really enjoy being part of the whole process, where we’re creating a character from scratch.”

Mukerji parts ways with YRF’s Dhoom 4 after reported creative disagreements.
Decision said to be amicable, with Aditya Chopra and Ranbir Kapoor supportive.
Director shifts focus to Brahmastra: Part Two – Dev, expected to begin filming in 2026.
Filmmaker steps away from YRF’s action franchise
Filmmaker Ayan Mukerji has stepped away from Yash Raj Films’ (YRF) highly anticipated action project Dhoom 4, reportedly due to creative differences. According to Bollywood Hungama, Mukerji’s vision for the film did not align with the studio’s direction, prompting him to withdraw from the project.
Mukerji, who was in discussions to direct the next instalment of the hit franchise—expected to star Ranbir Kapoor—was said to have limited control over the script, which was reportedly written by Shridhar Raghavan. The director, best known for Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Brahmastra, was keen on shaping the film creatively rather than simply executing an existing plan.
A source quoted in the report said, “Ayan didn’t have much say in the screenplay and didn’t want to embark on another journey of just execution.”
Amicable parting after discussions with Aditya Chopra
Before stepping away, Mukerji is believed to have held several discussions with YRF head Aditya Chopra and actor Ranbir Kapoor. Both reportedly supported his decision, with insiders describing the split as “completely amicable.”
The director’s departure does not mark the end of Dhoom 4, as YRF plans to continue with the project under a new director. The studio may also reconsider casting options, despite earlier reports that Ranbir Kapoor had set aside dates for the film.
Focus returns to the Brahmastra universe
Following his exit from Dhoom 4, Mukerji has shifted attention back to his passion project—the Brahmastra series. The filmmaker is currently developing Brahmastra: Part Two – Dev, the sequel to the 2022 fantasy epic.
The film, initially expected to begin production earlier, is now likely to go on floors in 2026. Sources suggest Mukerji intends to expand the Astraverse with more depth in storytelling, combining elements of mythology, drama, and spectacle.
