Ishaan Khattar and Ananya Panday to romance in Ali Abbas Zafar’s upcoming movie?

“Ali was keen to cast actors who are a big draw with youngsters,” reveals a source

Ananya Panday and Ishaan Khattar

Ishaan Khattar and Ananya Panday are amongst the younger lot that have impressed the audience and the critics alike with their debut performances. While Ananya made her Bollywood debut with Karan Johar’s Student Of The Year 2, Ishaan entered the industry with Majid Majidi’s Beyond The Clouds. 

Currently, Ananya Panday is busy shooting for her second film Pati Patni Aur Woh, alongside Kartik Aaryan and Bhumi Pednekar, in Lucknow. There have been various speculations over Ishaan’s next project, who delivered his second movie Dhadak alongside budding actress Janhvi Kapoor.

Apparently, Ishaan has been finalized for a love story that will be produced by the Bharat director Ali Abbas Zafar, and he will be romancing Ananya Panday for the same. Mumbai Mirror quoted a source saying, 

Since the Maximum City-centric film is a fresh take on the romantic genre and revolves around young people, Ali was keen to cast actors who are a big draw with youngsters. Both Ishaan and Ananya have impressed with their first films but have not worked together so it’s a new jodi as well. He (Ali) feels this is the best subject and genre for him to turn producer. Being a writer himself, he has been involved throughout the scripting process.

Recent reports claimed that Neerja director Ram Madhvani had roped in Shahid Kapoor and his half-brother Ishaan for an action-adventure film, which is yet to be confirmed.

In late June, reports surfaced that claimed Ishaan having walked out of Vishal Bhardwaj’s Netflix adaptation of Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children, citing creative differences. No official announcement was made about Ishaan’s involvement in the project. Earlier, Ishaan was also said to have bagged Mira Nair’s adaptation of Vikram Seth’s A Suitable Boy.
