There have been a lot of speculations and rumours about Luv Ranjan's next directorial, starring Ajay Devgn and Ranbir Kapoor. The film was announced all the way back at the beginning of 2018 and ever since then, it continues to be in the news. The latest reports that have surfaced on the internet are that Deepika Padukone has been finalised to play Kapoor's love interest. A report by Bollywood Hungama says the makers will make an official announcement at the right time.

A trade source told the portal, "Deepika is doing Luv Ranjan's untitled next but everybody wants to keep it under wraps till the whole noise about Me Too dies down completely. Deepika had signed the movie much earlier this year and had started discussions regarding the script with Luv. In July, she and Ranbir were even spotted coming out of the filmmaker's office but Deepika's fans took offense to that and #NotMyDeepika started trending online. Many felt on social media that given her strong stance against sexual harassment she shouldn't do the movie and ask her to rethink her choice. In a magazine interview, Deepika had denied that she would be willing to work with a person accused of sexual misconduct. Her fans were appeased by that but now that she has signed the film it will be interesting to see their reactions."
