Sidharth-Katrina to join forces yet again

Sidharth Malhotra is on a roll these days! Though his last few films haven't done any wonder at the ticket window, his slate of upcoming films seems quite promising and might turn his fortune for good.

We all know that Malhotra is teaming up with filmmaker and his mentor, Karan Johar, for a film based on the life of Kargil martyr Vikram Batra. But what many of us don't know is the fact that the actor might reunite with beautiful Katrina Kaif once again.


Sidharth and Katrina were last seen in Dharma Productions' 2016 film Baar Baar Dekho. And the latest we hear that the makers are considering Kat for the female lead role in the Vikram Batra biopic.

“The makers had a meeting with Katrina recently. They are keen to have her on board. The actress, however, is yet to sign on the dotted lines,” reveals a source.

To be directed by Vishnu Varadhan and written by Sandeep Shrivastava, the Vikram Batra biopic is said to go on the floors soon.

Besides the Vikram Batra biopic, Sidharth is also doing the upcoming film Shotgun Shaadi, to be produced by Ekta Kapoor under Balaji Motion Pictures.

  • Film sets Shakespeare inside a wealthy British South Asian family
  • Directed by Aneil Karia and in cinemas 6 February 2025

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.
