With Love Aaj Kal set to enter theatres on Valentine’s Day, filmmaker Imtiaz Ali is gearing up to begin preparations for his next directorial offering. If reports are to be believed, the filmmaker is planning to rope in Kartik Aaryan and Deepika Padukone in the movie reportedly based on Radha-Krishna.

“For long, Imtiaz Ali has been planning his film on Radha-Krishna and Deepika and Kartik have both indicated that they would want to be featured in the film. Radha was always older than Krishna. Deepika is 34 to Kartik’s 29, and they will look good as a couple, following this digital-dosti that they share now,” a source informs a publication.

Imtiaz Ali has been planning to roll the said project for quite some time now. He may helm it after Love Aaj Kal. Produced by Maddock Films, Window Seat Films and Jio Studios, Love Aaj Kal is a sequel to his own 2009 film of the same name. Starring Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan in central characters, the romantic film hits the marquee on 14th February.

Deepika Padukone and Imtiaz Ali have previously worked together on two films – Love Aaj Kal (2009) and Tamasha (2015). Both films were great critical success. If Padukone comes onboard to headline his next film as well, it will mark the third collaboration between the two.

Meanwhile, Deepika Padukone is gearing up to commence the first shooting schedule of her forthcoming film with Dharma Productions. The untitled movie, to be helmed by Shakun Batra, also stars Ananya Panday and Siddharth Malhotra in lead roles. The actress is also set to co-produce and star in the Hindi remake of Hollywood comedy The Intern (2015) alongside Rishi Kapoor.

HYBE Cine Fest 2025: BTS, TXT, and SEVENTEEN light up screens; here’s what it really means

You step into your local PVR today. The smell of popcorn hits you, but instead of previews for the latest Bollywood hit, the lobby is a sea of ARMY Bombs and CARAT Bong light sticks. Fans in TXT tees are swapping photocards. Someone’s already belting out a LE SSERAFIM chorus into a mic at the pop-up Noraebang station. Inside Screen 3? It isn’t a film, but a full-blown K-pop concert. Thousands of voices scream every word of BTS’s Dynamite, and tears well up during Jungkook’s solo. But this isn’t Seoul. It’s Kolkata, Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru, all this weekend. And HYBE? They’re taking notes, big ones!
