We had earlier reported about how Ranbir Kapoor and Ajay Devgn are teaming up after Raajneeti for Pyaar Ka Punchnama and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety director Luv Ranjan. The team had confirmed the news, with a picture of Ranjan in discussion with Devgn and Kapoor that came across every entertainment publication. The yet-untitled movie is touted to be a romantic light-hearted entertainer, on the same vibe as the director's earlier hit efforts.
Now as per a report in DNA, the movie has found itself a release date that too in 2020. Luv Ranjan had confirmed this news as he revealed, “We are looking at a Christmas 2020 release.” Well, isn't that the time when Hrithik Roshan's superhero movie Krrish 4 is also coming out? Oh yes, papa Rakesh Roshan, who has directed the previous movies in the Krrish franchise, has confirmed this news in January when he had tweeted, "Today is perhaps the best day to make the release day of Krrish 4 official. Christmas 2020 it is. A gift for all of you on Hrithiks birthday. Happy birthday @iHrithik." Well, that's interesting!
Coming back to the Devgn-Kapoor movie, it looks like not all is well with Ranbir and Luv over who should be the female lead in the movie. As per a story in Bollywood Bubble, Ranbir wants his rumoured ladylove Alia in the movie, while Ranjan wants to retain his SKTKS heroine, Nushrat Bharucha. A source close to the project told the website, "Ranbir and Luv are not on the same page. They are having a lot of arguments over who the heroine should be. Although the heroine’s role in the film is not much, Ranbir wants his ladylove Alia to be cast in it. He has also asked Luv to change the role, if need be, to accommodate Alia’s presence in the film. On the other hand, Luv is trying to get his current squeeze Nushrat Bharucha to step in as the heroine. Ajay is not a part of this mess and Ranbir has almost threatened to walk out if his demands are not met."
So what will happen here? Will Ranbir walk out? Will the makers avoid a clash with a superhero movie, featuring Hrithik Roshan? Only time will tell!
