Following the success of his Diwali release Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, Harshvardhan Rane is reportedly in advanced talks with producer Ektaa R Kapoor for a high-octane gangster film set in Dubai. The buzz is that the project combines action, crime, and drama, with Harshvardhan being seen as “a strong fit for a gritty and layered role that’s very different from his romantic image.” We have learnt that discussions are ongoing, and that the film will explore “the emotional and ruthless shades” of a gangster. If finalised, the film could mark a turning point in Rane’s career. Despite negative reviews Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is a hit at the box-office. The movie, also starring Sonam Bajwa, has earned R22.75 crore net in its first three days at the box office. It was reportedly mounted on a modest budget of Rs 25 crore.
