After the Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter-starrer Dhadak and the Dulhania films, Shashank Khaitan is gearing up to foray into the action thriller genre with his next.

According to a source close to the development, the film is currently in the scripting stage and is expected to go on the floors by May next year.

“Shashank will give Karan (Johar, producer) a narration before beginning work on casting,” the source added.

Mirror has also learnt that the film is set to kick off before Shashank’s upcoming Varun Dhawan-starrer war film Rannbhoomi, which was announced in February this year as a Diwali 2020 release. The latter will now kick off only after the release of the action-thriller.

“Rannbhoomi is a warrior film, which showcases love, relationships, sacrifices, revenge, and heroism. I began developing it in December 2015 and shared the idea with Varun, who was excited about it. Now, Karan has given us the wings to fly and we are looking forward to turn this dream into a reality,” the director had stated.
