According to reports, actress Chitrangda Singh has landed a plum role in an upcoming Bollywood film. She has been signed on to play the parallel lead in filmmaker Pawan Kriplani’s next directorial venture Gaslight. Sara Ali Khan and Vikrant Massey are already part of the cast.
Ramesh Taurani produces Gaslight under his banner Tips Industries. Announcing the film last month, he had said that in addition to Khan and Massey, a senior actress would also join the cast to essay an important role. Chitrangda Singh has been roped in for the said part in the film.
Some media outlets report that though Singh plays the parallel lead alongside Khan and Massey, her role will be different from a conventional parallel lead character. All three actors are working together for the first time. If all goes well, Gaslight will begin rolling next month in October.
Meanwhile, Chitrangda Singh next will be seen in Red Chillies Entertainment and Bound Script Production’s crime thriller Bob Biswas, alongside Abhishek Bachchan. The film is a spin-off of Sujoy Ghosh’s 2012 thriller Kahaani and is expected to release in theatres next year.
Ever since starting off her acting career in 2005, Singh has starred in several notable films over the years, including Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi (2005), Yeh Saali Zindagi (2011), and Desi Boyz (2011). She was last seen in the 2020 film Ghoomketu, co-starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui. The film released digitally on the leading Indian streaming media platform ZEE5.

R Madhavan shares his experience portraying a father’s role for the first time alongside Ajay Devgn.
Actor addresses rumours about de-ageing technology, confirming he relied on diet and fitness instead.
Madhavan reflects on sequels and preparation for previous physically demanding roles like Saala Khadoos.
Nervous about a father’s role
At the trailer launch of De De Pyaar De 2, R Madhavan admitted he was initially nervous about playing Ajay Devgn’s on-screen father-in-law.
“I have never done a father’s role before, and competing with Ajay, I was very nervous,” Madhavan said. “I have seen other actors who are so busy when they come to the set, but Ajay sir is always present and dedicated. We have always felt connected.”
The actor also commented on the appeal of sequels. Devgn, who stars alongside Madhavan, stated, “I don’t mind sequels as long as there is a good script. I hope the film is liked by audiences. We all believe we have made a good film.”
Madhavan addressed recent rumours about de-ageing technology in his films, stating, “They’ve all been accusing me of de-ageing, but I don’t think I have the budget for that. It hasn’t happened.”
Instead, the actor relies on traditional methods of preparation, including fitness and diet adjustments, to meet the physical demands of roles.
Reflections on past roles
Madhavan reflected on the preparation for his earlier role in Saala Khadoos, a physically demanding sports drama. “When I went to train for Saala Khadoos, I consulted numerous dieticians and several people who advised me on how to lose weight and get fit, what diet to follow, what time to eat, and so on, but I couldn’t find anyone I truly resonated with,” he said.
The actor’s candid reflections reveal a focus on dedication and personal preparation rather than technological shortcuts, highlighting his commitment to authentic performances.
