Key Highlights

Sushant Singh Rajput, Parineeti Chopra and Vaani Kapoor's Shuddh Desi Romance completed 10 years today. Directed by Maneesh Sharma and produced by Aditya Chopra, it released on August 6, 2013, in theatres. On this occasion, Parineeti shared a video on Instagram.

Her caption read, "Time really flies! A decade to this film but the memories are still fresh. This movie was a journey full of laughter, hectic shoots but heartwarming moments. What an experience shooting this film with such legendary actors. Rishi sir we miss you. Sushant, miss you even more. You were one of my favourite co-stars."

Parineeti's reel had some priceless BTS footage along with scenes from Shuddh Desi Romance. It was her first film with Sushant. Shuddh Desi Romance marked Vaani's Bollywood debut.

Set in Jaipur, Shuddh Desi Romance revolved around commitment-phobic Raghu (Sushant). He absconded from his wedding and met Gayatri (Parineeti), who soon became his live-in girlfriend. After she chose to run away on the day of their wedding, Raghu then bumped into Tara, the girl he left at the altar. The film explored the views of the younger generation on commitment, live-in relationships and arranged marriages as compared to love marriages in small-town India.

Workwise, Parineeti will be seen in Imtiaz Ali's Chamkila with Diljit Dosanjh. The film is scheduled to stream on Netflix next year. It is a biographical film on the late Punjabi folk singer, Amar Singh Chamkila. She reunites with Akshay Kumar for The Great Indian Rescue, which is also a biopic and based on a real-life incident. Vaani was last seen in Shamshera. Her next project will be YRF's OTT project, Mandala Murders.

Sushant Singh Rajput passed away on June 14, 2020, due to suicide. He was 34 years old. The actor's final film was Dil Bechara which released a month after his demise. It premiered on Disney+ Hotstar. Sushant's last theatrical release, Chhichhore, completed 4 years today as well.

Rishi Kapoor breathed his last in April 2020 after a 2-year-long battle with leukemia. His last film, Sharmaji Namkeen, took the digital route and premiered on Amazon Prime Video in March 2022.
