Aayush Sharma, who debuted with LoveYatri last year, will be seen in yet another romantic saga. After Hrs has learnt that he has signed Rajkumar Santoshi’s next film. A source says, “The filmmaker had approached Aayush for a movie sometime back. Once the script was finalised, the latter was given a narration, following which he gave his nod to the project.” An official announcement will be made soon. The source adds, “It’s a love story replete with comedy and action.”

The actor will begin work on it after he finishes his second project, the Hindi remake of the 2018 Marathi movie Mulshi Pattern. Another source tells us, “Aayush will sport a new look for his second film. He has been on a red meat diet as he has to gain around 16 kilos for the part. He has already put on over 10 kilos and is working out. He is also learning Marathi as the story is set in rural Maharashtra.”

He wraps up Mulshi Pattern around April, post which he will start Santoshi’s next.
