Karan Johar on the casting of Kartik Aaryan and Triptii Dimri in Sharan Sharma’s next

By Murtuza Iqbal

A few days ago, there were reports that Kartik Aaryan will be seen in Sharan Sharma’s next which will be produced by Karan Johar. It was said that the actor will portray the character of a cricketer in the film.


Later, there were reports of Triptii Dimri being roped in for the movie. However, Karan Johar has now cleared the air about the casting of the film.

He tweeted, “There have been lots of speculations and conjectures on The casting of Sharan Sharma’s next film for @DharmaMovies ... just want to specify that the cast of the film hasn’t been locked as the screenplay is being finalised as we speak.... please wait for an official announcement.”

Well, if the reports turn out to be true it will surely be interesting to watch the fresh pairing of Kartik and Triptii on the big screen.

Talking about their other projects, Kartik has movies like Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Dhamaka, and Dostana 2 lined up. Dhamaka is slated to release on Netflix, and the shooting of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Dostana 2 is not yet completed.

Meanwhile, Triptii will next be seen in Qala which will release on Netflix. The Anushka Sharma production will mark Irrfan Khan’s son Babil Khan’s acting debut.

Rishab Shetty channels the spirit of Raj Kapoor and Guru Dutt in Kantara Chapter 1

Rishab Shetty revives Raj Kapoor and Guru Dutt’s golden era through 'Kantara Chapter 1'

Highlights:

  • Shetty moves from regional hit to franchise builder with Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1
  • The original Kantara put his name on the map; the new film widens the canvas
  • He writes, directs and acts- the rare triple threat Indian cinema once celebrated
  • The work is rooted in folklore and ritual, not spectacle, and that still lands with audiences
  • It’s a practical, working model of old-school creative vision today

Rishab Shetty’s path feels oddly familiar. Indian cinema once had figures who wrote, directed and starred in their own films, names such as Guru Dutt and Raj Kapoor. It looks like Shetty does the same work now. After the success of Kantara, he returned with the newly released Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1, again as actor, writer and director. The result is less a throwback and more a clear line of continuity: cinema made by one person who will not cede the story.
