Rajkummar Rao To Team Up With Manushi Chhillar For His Next: Report

While Rajkummar Rao was enjoying all the praise for Srikanth a few months ago, rumours began circulating that he was working on a film with Jay Shewakramani. Director Pulkit, who was highly praised for his film Bhakshak, was supposed to helm the picture. Now, there have been rumours circulating that Manushi Chhillar has been cast as the female lead.

The film will reportedly have Rajkummar Rao's blessing and will examine the actor's onscreen chemistry for the first time with Manushi Chhillar, a former beauty queen. With Rajkummar and Manushi on board, the producers were hoping for a new kind of casting choice. An insider told Pinkvilla that the two will have a fascinating dynamic onscreen.

The fact that it's a gangster drama was already known. The news that the actor would be working with him and Pulkit for the film was actually confirmed by producer Jay Shewakramani, who also revealed a few details about the project. The actor allegedly not only signed the contract, but also claimed in May that they were in the pre-production phase, according to Jay. The makers are keen on releasing the film next year, and the source recently revealed that it is expected to go on floors in India next month. While we don't yet know the plot, we do know that production will begin in September 2024 on a marathon schedule for the film. According to the source, Rajkummar Rao is looking forward to this partnership because it will be a departure from the comic space that he has been an inhabitant of for quite some time now.

At the same time, Rajkummar Rao is currently occupied with promoting his upcoming horror comedy Stree 2, which features Shraddha Kapoor, Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurana, and Abhishek Banerjee in important roles. August 15th is when the movie is supposed to come out.

Take a look at the trailer of Stree 2 down below:
