Sanjay Dutt, Ranbir Kapoor & Vaani Kapoor in Yash Raj Films' next

Buzz has it that Sanjay Dutt, Ranbir Kapoor and Vaani Kapoor have been finalized to headline one of the upcoming projects by Yash Raj Films. The untitled movie will be helmed by Karan Malhotra who has previously directed Agneepath and Brothers for Karan Johar's Dharma Productions.

The project is, reportedly, a part of a three-film deal that Karan Malhotra has signed with Yash Raj Films. Considering the fact that the project is in its initial stage, the makers are trying their best to keep all details under wraps.


The new project might benefit its female lead Vaani Kapoor the most. The actress, who made her acting debut with Shudhh Desi Romance in 2013, was last seen in Aditya Chopra's Befikre. However, despite starring in two YRF movies, her career has gone nowhere in these years. This untitled film with biggies like Sanjay Dutt and Ranbir Kapoor might work wonders for the actress' career.

Interestingly, before starting shooting for Karan Malhotra's film, Vaani will be seen in another big-ticket movie by Yash Raj Films and that too with biggies like Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff. The film will be helmed by filmmaker Siddharth Anand. Like Malhotra's film, Anand's movie is also yet to be titled.

Riz Ahmed’s 'Hamlet' trailer drops murder suspicion into a South Asian business dynasty

Highlights:

  • Hamlet trailer lands with Riz Ahmed in the lead role
  • Film sets Shakespeare inside a wealthy British South Asian family
  • Directed by Aneil Karia and in cinemas 6 February 2025
  • Cast includes Morfydd Clark, Joe Alwyn, Sheeba Chadha and Art Malik

Riz Ahmed has entered Hamlet in a way British cinema has not quite seen. The new Hamlet trailer has been released by Universal, giving the first proper look at Aneil Karia’s modern take on Shakespeare and placing the story inside a British South Asian business empire. It is due in cinemas on 6 February, and the footage shows a tense, controlled Ahmed moving through grief, suspicion and family power.

The film teams Ahmed and Karia again after The Long Goodbye, which won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short. That success informs this production. This is the first time a major UK studio release has grounded Hamlet within a South Asian household for a wide audience.
