Sushant Singh Rajput & Rajkummar Rao to team up again?

Earlier, it was reported that Nitesh Tiwari’s next movie, which is being produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, was supposed to star Varun Dhawan in the lead. However, reports now say that the ‘Dangal’ (2016) director has zeroed in on Sushant Singh Rajput.
 
Reveals a source, “Nitesh’s film is a two-hero project. It’s a college drama with a social message. It’s a celebration of life, love and about embracing success and failure.”
 
For the second lead, Tiwari is likely to rope in Rajkummar Rao. A source confirms, “Nitesh is keen on signing Raj. Both of them have had a few meetings where they have discussed the project. They admire each other’s work and the actor has also liked the script.”
 
“Rajkummar is working out his dates because he’s committed to a lot of other films. The team is awaiting his approval and they plan to announce it only after everything is locked.”
 
Five years ago, Rajput made his silver screen debut with ‘Kai Po Che!’ (2013) and Rao. And since then the two have remained friends, reports DNA India
 
Meanwhile, Rajput  is finishing Abhishek Chaubey’s ‘Son Chiraiya’ and Rao is busy with ‘Fanne Khan,’ ‘Stree’ and ‘Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga’ – all of which are expected to be wrapped up by the end of April.
 
Tiwari’s film will then look to go into production in the middle of 2018.
