Actor Sunny Singh has finally found his footing in Bollywood, thanks to the runaway success of his recent release Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, which went on to clock over INR 100 crores at the domestic box-office. After the rousing success of the movie, the actor has been offered many films. But he is said to have signed only one of them. Yes, Singh has given his nod to star in a slice-of-life film to be bankrolled by Ronnie Screwvala under his production venture, RSVP. Actor Vikrant Massey is also a part of the project.
A source close to the development reveals, “It is a slice-of-life film which revolves around friendship and will feature Sunny as a flirtatious North Indian as well as a lot of comedy. Dil Dhadakne Do (2015) and A Death In the Gunj (2017) actor Vikrant Massey plays Sunny’s buddy in the film.”
The untitled film will be helmed by writer Amit Joshi who makes his directorial debut with it. He is known for writing the Rajkummar Rao starrer award-winning film Trapped (2017). The movie is expected to begin its production in August this year. It will be shot extensively across North India.
Besides the Amit Joshi directorial, Sunny Singh will also appear in a cameo in Akiv Ali’s upcoming movie. Starring Ajay Devgn, Tabu and Rakul Preet Singh in pivotal roles, the untitled film is being produced by Luv Ranjan.

Actor addresses rumours about de-ageing technology, confirming he relied on diet and fitness instead.
Madhavan reflects on sequels and preparation for previous physically demanding roles like Saala Khadoos.
Nervous about a father’s role
At the trailer launch of De De Pyaar De 2, R Madhavan admitted he was initially nervous about playing Ajay Devgn’s on-screen father-in-law.
“I have never done a father’s role before, and competing with Ajay, I was very nervous,” Madhavan said. “I have seen other actors who are so busy when they come to the set, but Ajay sir is always present and dedicated. We have always felt connected.”
The actor also commented on the appeal of sequels. Devgn, who stars alongside Madhavan, stated, “I don’t mind sequels as long as there is a good script. I hope the film is liked by audiences. We all believe we have made a good film.”
Madhavan addressed recent rumours about de-ageing technology in his films, stating, “They’ve all been accusing me of de-ageing, but I don’t think I have the budget for that. It hasn’t happened.”
Instead, the actor relies on traditional methods of preparation, including fitness and diet adjustments, to meet the physical demands of roles.
Reflections on past roles
Madhavan reflected on the preparation for his earlier role in Saala Khadoos, a physically demanding sports drama. “When I went to train for Saala Khadoos, I consulted numerous dieticians and several people who advised me on how to lose weight and get fit, what diet to follow, what time to eat, and so on, but I couldn’t find anyone I truly resonated with,” he said.
The actor’s candid reflections reveal a focus on dedication and personal preparation rather than technological shortcuts, highlighting his commitment to authentic performances.
