The huge success of Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018) made the film's director Luv Ranjan a hot ticket in Bollywood last year. Despite critics savaging his misogynistic take on friendship and romance, the Pyaar Ka Punchnama director had proved he had a loyal fan base connecting with his stories. The icing on the cake came when Ajay Devgn and Ranbir Kapoor signed on for his next project.
However, it looks like that film might be in jeopardy. A few months ago, Ranjan was accused by an actress (who chose to remain anonymous) of sexual harassment during an audition some years ago; the filmmaker denied the charges. There have been no announcements on the Ajay-Ranbir film since, and industry folks say top stars may have distanced themselves from Ranjan. A source though insists Ajay has developed cold feet over playing Ranbir's father. The film has been described as a Maqbool-esque' drama where father and son fall for the same woman.
