Bollywood fans may soon see a fresh pair on screen as Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor are reportedly in talks to star in a new thriller produced by Dinesh Vijan of Maddock Films. It will be the first time that Sidharth and Janhvi team up together if this project materialises. The film, which is yet to be titled, is expected to go on floors by the first quarter of 2024.
Sidharth Malhotra Starrer is a thriller with some action
According to a source quoted by Pinkvilla, “Sidharth Malhotra has been in talks with Dinesh Vijan for a while now and has discussed subjects falling across the genres. Among all that Sid discussed, he has zeroed in on a thriller with some action in the form of chase sequences for his maiden collaboration with Maddock. The film will go on floors by the first quarter of 2024,” revealed a source close to the development.

“Janhvi shares a great bond with Maddock while working on Roohi and is in talks to reunite with the banner for the upcoming thriller alongside Sidharth Malhotra. It’s a screenplay-driven script with twists and turns, and both the protagonists have strongly written parts. Janhvi is expected to take a call on the offer to team up with Sidharth for the first time very soon,” the source added.
Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor are both busy with their respective projects. Sidharth Malhotra has two projects ready for release – Yoddha and Indian Police Force – while Janhvi Kapoor has Ulajh and Devara in the pipeline.
