After having only one release in Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar in 2023, Shraddha Kapoor, in a fan meet-and-greet session earlier this year, revealed that she was working on a few projects that included a mythological adaptation and a time-travel story.
Now, mid-day has learnt that she has also liked a drama to be backed by her rumoured beau, Rahul Mody, who co-wrote Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar. If things work out, the actor will not only headline the film, but also turn producer with it.
Little is known about the movie’s plot at present as the makers are keeping details under wraps. A source reveals, “The talks are in the nascent stage, so it can’t be determined whether this will be her next project. But Shraddha has liked the central idea. She plans to co-produce it along with Rahul’s production house.”
Director Luv Ranjan’s romantic comedy was Kapoor’s first release in three years since the action fare, Baaghi 2 (2020). This year, we hear the actor wants to keep the momentum going with Stree 2, the sequel to Rajkummar Rao-led horror comedy, Stree (2018).
The source adds, “Stree 2 is one of the year’s most-awaited films. Going forward, Shraddha wants to carefully select her projects, choosing ones that evoke a similar kind of buzz. She also doesn’t want long gaps between her films.”

In July, actor Shraddha Kapoor and Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar writer Rahul Mody were papped after a dinner date, sending fans into a frenzy. With rumours about the two dating intensifying since, we’ve exclusively learnt that things have got serious.
“They got close while working on Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar and have been going strong. But they don’t want to go public with their relationship. They were shocked when they were photographed on a dinner date. That is why they are being more cautious about their outings together,” a source says, adding that the couple picks discreet locations and odd times to meet, to avoid attention.
“In fact, recently, Rahul took Shraddha to buy a new phone, but picked a store where security was expected to be higher so that they wouldn’t get papped. That’s how they want the relationship to be,” the insider says. “That being said, not going public doesn’t mean they are not in a happy place. They are sure about each other and their families, too, like them as a couple,” explains the source.
The reason the couple has kept the relationship hush-hush is the fact that both of them are private people. “Shraddha has always kept her personal life out of the limelight. She didn’t confirm her relationship with (photographer) Rohan Shrestha either. That’s how she wants it to be with Rahul, too,” shares the source. Kapoor reportedly dated Shrestha for over seven years till they parted ways in 2022.
We contacted the actor for a comment but were met with no response till the time of going to press.
Why is Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 associate director getting 600 calls a day?

"Hello Gogo darling, how are you?" – the question has driven a 26-year-old Lokhandwala filmmaker to the edge. Since the release of Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2, co-writer and associate director Rahul Mody (pictured above, at right) is receiving nearly 600 calls a day.
In the movie, character Anshul aka Gogo, played by actor Kartik Aaryan (pcitured above, at left; and in picture below), mentions Mody's number on screen while introducing himself to Nushrat Bharucha, playing the role of his girlfriend Ruchika aka Chiku. Mody, meanwhile, seems amused as the callers mistake him for Gogo. Not only from India, he is getting such calls from even Dubai and Russia.
"During the shoot, there was a blank space in Kartik's dialogue for a dummy phone number. He chose to use my number in the scene. This led to viewers calling me and asking about Gogo and Anshul. I then politely introduced myself to them," said Mody.
But now the situation has gone out of control with people ringing up at any time of the day. "Since the release of the film, I have been receiving back to back calls, even at night. One of the callers, a girl from Noida, started saying the dialogues from the film. The men mostly call up to say they have gone through similar situations," added Mody.
"One of the women was still inside the cinema hall when she called and kept insisting that I was Gogo. Then she started coaxing me to arrange a conference call with Kartik, which I refused," he said. Mody's mother Rekha is even more amused.
"As soon as the phone rings, the entire family bursts into laughter. It is a proud moment. My son has proved himself and we are having fun," she said.
Interestingly, a few lucky callers actually spoke to Kartik when Mody was around the team. "We were just playing a prank and decided to go ahead with Rahul's number. When we both were together, he gave me the phone to speak to a few callers and it was hilarious. I can only imagine how he must have handled those callers, but we are happy that the movie has received a great response," said Kartik.
