Rashmika Mandanna has been linked to yet another high profile Bollywood project, this time Amit Sharma’s next romcom that is said to be in talks with Shahid Kapoor. Over the past few days, the chatter around the casting has grown loud enough to make it sound like the film’s pairing was locked. However, an update from close to the development has now clarified where things actually stand and why the actress will not be part of this particular film.
Rashmika Mandanna Not Part Of Amit Sharma’s Next
According to a source close to the director, the casting speculation is off the mark when it comes to Rashmika Mandanna. The source said, “There is no Rashmika Mandanna in the project at all. Yes, Amit is in talks with Shahid Kapoor.” The statement makes it clear that while discussions with Shahid Kapoor are ongoing, the actress is not attached to the film.
The clarification is notable because it resets expectations around the romantic comedy’s eventual leading lady and indicates that the makers may still be exploring options on the female lead front.
Why Rashmika Mandanna Is Sitting This One Out
The reason behind Rashmika Mandanna not joining the project is being attributed to two key factors.
First, her schedule is currently packed. With multiple commitments already lined up, her date diary is reportedly too crowded for another sizeable addition at this stage.
Second, Rashmika has recently completed another project with Shahid Kapoor, Cocktail 2. With that collaboration already in the pipeline, her non involvement in Amit Sharma’s film also avoids back to back pairings in a similar time window.
What’s Next For Shahid Kapoor And Amit Sharma
While Rashmika Mandanna is not part of the romcom, Shahid Kapoor’s potential collaboration with Amit Sharma remains the headline within the development. Sharma, known for balancing humour with heartland rooted storytelling, has been associated with projects that blend mainstream emotion and accessible comedy, making a Shahid led romcom an intriguing prospect.
As of now, the film’s title, supporting cast, and production timelines are not officially announced. With the director still said to be in talks with Shahid, the next big confirmation to watch will be the final casting of the female lead and when the project is expected to go on floors.
