Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff are popularly known for their dancing skills besides their acting chops. A dance-off between them will be a sheer visual treat. As reported earlier, Hrithik and Tiger are all set to star in Siddharth Anand’s upcoming directorial which is produced under the YRF banner.
In a conversation with a leading Indian tabloid, Tiger was asked about the possibility of a dance-off between him and Hrithik, to which he replied, "Hrithik Roshan is my ultimate hero and I don’t know if I’ll even be able to move when I am sharing the frame with him. I’ll probably just be standing there staring at him. That is how much in awe of him I am. I hope we make magic together."
Previously, when Tiger was asked about the film and his experience working with Hrithik, Tiger said to a leading Indian tabloid, "I was sitting in front of my Rambo director, Siddharth (Anand), and the producer of this film and trying to act cool, I told them, "I'd love to hear the script and take it forward from there." But in my heart I was like, "Forget the script, I'm already on board!" I wanted to jump up and start dancing, right there, right then!"
He further said, "I feel blessed to be working with my idol. There's so much I look forward to, just being around Hrithik sir feels like a victory to me. I will have to give more than 100 percent to the film because he's so particular about everything. I'll also have to work twice as hard just to stand in the same frame as him. Ufff, he's on another level altogether!"
Production houses confirm three-way collaboration between Mehta, Pellissery, and Rahman
Film currently in casting stage with shooting planned later this year
Pellissery's track record suggests an unconventional take on the romance genre
Rahman returns to work with Mehta after their Gandhi series collaboration
Project marks Pellissery's first major crossover into Hindi film circles
Wait, read that again. Hansal Mehta's production is backing a romantic drama from Lijo Jose Pellissery. And AR Rahman? He's building the entire soundscape for it. The combination feels almost unreal, right? It's like three separate rivers of filmmaking talent suddenly crashing into one project.

What's the actual plot of this pellissery film?
They're keeping story details locked down tight. The official line calls it a "lyrical exploration of love," which sounds nice but means very little coming from a director known for chaotic chases and funeral processions that spiral into madness. The script comes from Pellissery and writer Karan Vyas. Given Pellissery's history, expect something raw and unpredictable rather than rose-tinted. His approach to human relationships typically involves peeling back layers until things get messy.
Look at their backgrounds. Mehta built his name on biographical dramas and sharp social commentary. Pellissery operates in his own cinematic universe where conventional rules do not apply. Rahman's involvement guarantees the music will be another character entirely. Sahil Saigal from Mehta's production company called it "momentous" and for once that does not sound like empty producer talk. This feels like one of those projects that could actually shift how Indian films get made.
No confirmed release window yet; these things take time, especially with directors as particular as Pellissery. The production houses involved are Mehta's True Story Films and Amen Movie Monastery. This also marks the second time Rahman and Mehta have worked together after finishing their Gandhi series, which premiered at Toronto last year.
