Last May, rumours surfaced about two of KJ’s students uniting for a movie. Almost a year on, we hear that Varun Dhawan, who made his debut with Student of the Year (2012), and Tiger Shroff, who starred in Student of the Year 2 (2017), will collaborate for a Dharma production. However, the film, said to be an action comedy, will go on floors only next year. Raj Mehta, who previously directed Varun in Jugjugg Jeeyo (2022), will helm the yet-untitled film that is scripted by Sumit Roy and has dialogues by Anurag Kashyap. Currently gearing up for the release of Baby John, Varun is set to begin filming director-buddy Shashank Khaitan’s Sunny Sanskari ki Tulsi Kumari with Janhvi Kapoor next month. The actor also has filmmaker-father David Dhawan’s next and Anees Bazmee’s No Entry Mein Entry with Arjun Kapoor and Diljit Dosanjh. Raj’s directorial venture will be Tiger’s second collaboration with KJo, after their actioner Screw Dheela was put on the backburner in November 2022.
