Rajkummar Rao in talks to headline Luv Ranjan’s Made In China

After the howling success of his recent release, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018), filmmaker Luv Ranjan has teamed up with superstar Ajay Devgn and Ranbir Kapoor for his next directorial venture. Though his movie is yet to mount the shooting floor, we hear that the director has already begun preparations for another film for which he has roped in the National award-winning actor, Rajkummar Rao.

Buzz has it that Rajkummar liked the script so much that he immediately agreed to come onboard for Luv Ranjan’s next. Titled Made In China, the movie is said to be a quirky comedy which centres on a Gujarati businessman and what all he goes through before emerging as a successful entrepreneur.


"Raj loved the story and immediately agreed to be a part of the film. Raj and Luv get along really well and are looking forward to working together. The hunt for the leading lady is on after which they will start the prep and go on a reccee. The makers will zero in on a director soon,” reveals a source.

Meanwhile, Rao will next be seen in Fanne Khan opposite Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. His next line-up of films includes Stree, Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga, Swagat Hai and Mental Hai Kya.

Yash says ‘men and women see life differently’ as 'Toxic' brings a new perspective to storytelling

Highlights

  • Yash says Geethu Mohandas brought a layered and different perspective to Toxic
  • The actor resisted repeating the formula behind K.G.F: Chapter 2
  • Toxic is being developed with a global outlook while remaining rooted in Indian storytelling

Four years after the success of K.G.F: Chapter 2, Yash is returning with Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups, but not in the way many expected. Instead of following a familiar path after one of India’s biggest box-office hits, the actor says he deliberately moved away from projects that felt designed to recreate past success. For Yash, Toxic became an opportunity to explore new ideas, challenge himself creatively and think about Indian cinema on a wider stage.

Moving away from formula and playing safe

Yash revealed that after K.G.F: Chapter 2, several ideas came his way that appeared to follow an expected pattern. Rather than capitalising on what had already worked, he was drawn to stories that demanded more thought and experimentation. That eventually led him to Geethu Mohandas and Toxic. While the film carries the visual language of a gangster drama, Yash explained that it also explores emotional complexity, moral ambiguity and darker aspects of human behaviour.
