Sanya Malhotra, fresh from the critical acclaim of Mrs, is set to headline a new action-comedy releasing this year. The official announcement was made recently, with the actor posing alongside the film’s director, Kapil Sharma, and other team members. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the update on Instagram, and wrote, “Sanya Malhotra stars in action-comedy entertainer. In addition to distributing and financing projects, Aagaaz Entertainment kickstarts its 2025 slate with an untitled action-comedy headlined by Sanya Malhotra.

Her appearance in Thug Life’s viral track Jinguchaa has already drawn attention. Sanya, who made her acting debut in Aamir Khan’s Dangal (2016), also has Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, Toaster, and an Anurag Kashyap film in the pipeline.

History in the foresight

Ashutosh Gowariker and Rishab Shetty

Is Rishab Shetty becoming the go-to face for mythological and historical dramas? That’s the question fans are asking amid buzz that the Kantara star may team up with Jodhaa Akbar (2008) director Ashutosh Gowariker to play Sri Krishnadevaraya, the Vijayanagara emperor. If true, this would mark yet another period role for the actor, who is already set to play Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in The Pride of Bharat. We have learnt that since the success of Kantara (2022), the Kannada star has stepped away from lighter films, even opting out of Malaikottai Vaaliban and the sequel of his film, Bell Bottom (2019). The film will mark the directorial comeback for Ashutosh, whose last directoril venture was Panipat (2019) with Arjun Kapoor and Kriti Sanon.
