Alia Bhatt may have another major project in the pipeline. The Gangubai Kathiawadi actress is reportedly in advanced discussions with director Nag Ashwin for a feature film. If things go as planned, this could be her next after Love And War.
Nag Ashwin To Make Another Film Before Kalki 2898 AD Sequel?
Nag Ashwin is currently focused on Kalki 2898 AD 2, but reports suggest he wants to direct another film before its sequel. A source revealed to Pinkvilla, “The genre and other aspects are kept under wraps for now, but Nag Ashwin is in advanced talks to collaborate with Alia Bhatt on a subject that’s close to his heart. Alia too has loved the world that Nag is looking to create, and the actress is excited to collaborate with the maverick filmmaker.”
Talks are in the final stages, but the official paperwork is still pending. The main hurdle is scheduling. Alia has committed over 200 days to Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love And War, which also stars Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal.
She wants to finalise her schedule before signing a new project. Nag Ashwin, on the other hand, plans to start filming in November and complete it before Kalki 2898 AD Part 2, which is expected to begin in late 2026.
If the deal goes through, it will be another big addition to Alia’s already-packed lineup. She is also set to star in YRF’s Alpha and Maddock’s horror comedy Chamunda. Last year, she was in talks for a romantic drama titled Housewife with Abhishek Pathak, but that project did not move forward.
Alia’s Alleged Collab With Nag Ashwin Also Made Headlines Last Year
In November 2024, a Mid-Day report claimed that Alia is a perfect fit for the role and is ready to take on another large-scale pan-India film after RRR. The report quoted a source saying, “Both Ashwin and Alia are excited to team up on this new project.”
However, the director denied it straight. Speaking to Zoom, he said, “No, this is just some random rumour.” He confirmed that his next project will be the Kalki 2898 AD sequel, though a release date has not been set yet.
With no official confirmation, fans are waiting to see if this collaboration will actually happen. Stay tuned for more updates!
