A close source from the production has opened up about the actor’s casting procedure in the upcoming movie.
The source noted, “After Ayushmann Khurrana and Sidharth Malhotra exited Daayra due to scheduling conflicts, Prithviraj was approached. He connected with the script and the film’s message. His role is essential in driving the narrative, while Kareena’s character will show her in a new light, exuding strength, vulnerability, and intuition. Prithviraj has heard the script and is very excited about it. However, he hasn’t signed the film on dotted lines as yet.”
Although details about the story are still under wraps, it is reported that it’ll revolve around a true story with a horrific scenario. Moreover, multiple outlets suggest that It is scheduled to go under production this year.
For now, the official announcement of the cast is yet to come.
This could be a great opportunity for the actor to make his mark in the Hindi film industry after the box-office disaster of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan where he starred alongside Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff.
Despite waiting for a Bollywood hit, Prithviraj is already a superstar in the Malayalam film industry with groundbreaking performances in movies like Aadujeevitham: The Goat Life. He was last in Salaar: Part I – Ceasefire along with Prabhas.
As for Kareena, her recent Diwali release Singham Again is creating new milestones at the box office. Directed by Rohit Shetty the actress stars alongside Ajay Devgn, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Tiger Shroff, Jackie Shroff, and Arjun Kapoor in the cop-drama.
