It seems both producer Dinesh Vijan and actor Siddharth Malhotra are looking for a change of mood. Vijan has scored big in the comedy-horror space with Stree 2 and Munjya, and Sidharth Malhotra not so big in the action genre.
Sidharth Malhotra is done with action for now. After Yodha, he has quit another action film Mitti and signed a love story with producer Dinesh Vijan and Maddock Films. The untitled project to be directed by Tushar Jalota (who directed Abhishek Bachchan in Dasvi) will co-star Janhvi Kapoor.
This is the first time that Malhotra would be teaming up with Janhvi Kapoor, who got encouraging reviews for her two releases this year Mr & Mrs Mahi and Ulajh.
Sidharth Malhotra has lately been going through a rough patch in his career. Hopefully, Janhvi and Malhotra will prove lucky for one another.
Lately, Siddharth Malhotra has not seen much success at the box office. Even his much-anticipated OTT debut Indian Police Force was a bit of a damp squib. If the truth be told, Malhotra’s only bonafide hits so far are his debut film Student Of The Year, Ek Villain and Shershaah. In the latter he co-starred with his future wife Kiara Advani.
Marriage seems to have proven lucky for Kiara. Not only was her first post-marriage release Satyaprem Ki Katha a big hit, but she also signed some of her career’s biggest films, including Don 3 after marriage.
