It looks like 2018 is going to be big for Vaani Kapoor. After signing the Sidharth Anand dance-action film starring

Tiger Shroff and Hrithik Roshan, she is now in talks to star in Vishal Bhardwaj’s next.

Says a source, “Vishal has liked Vaani’s work in both her films and he feels she has a good screen presence. They have met and spoken about working together. Vishal has now expressed his interest in casting her in one of his next films. But he’s not yet decided which film it will be. There’s no confirmation on that.”  Coincidentally, last time we met Vaani, she too had told us that Vishal is definitely on her wishlist of directors.

Bhardwaj will now start helming the Deepika Padukone-Irrfan Khan starrer, post which he has as many as three films lined up. “He’s co-producing four films with Prernaa Arora and one of them will mostly have Vaani in the lead. He might or might not direct the film at all,” adds our source. Another khabri informs us that it might be Chooriyan — a film on sibling rivalry — which Vishal has been planning for some time. The film also reportedly has Kriti Sanon playing the younger sister.
