Ajay Devgn and Ranbir Kapoor's much-awaited project with Luv Ranjan is making headlines for all the right reasons. There were reports of Deepika Padukone being roped in for the project, which was further fuelled by her recent visit to Luv Ranjan's house with RK Jr. And now if a report in Bollywood Hungama is to be believed, the actress has indeed signed on the dotted lines and Nushrat Bharucha will join her soon. Ajay Devgn - Ranbir Kapoor's Collaboration for Luv Ranjan is an Action Thriller and Not a Rom-Com.

Nushrat and Luv Ranjan's association goes back a long way. The actress has been a part of his Pyaar ka Punchnama series and she also starred in Sonu Ke Titu ki Sweety. Hence, it won't be surprising if he decides to cast her in his upcoming action entertainer. While Deepika-Ranbir's pairing itself is the highlight of this big project, Nushrat's addition will only make things spicier. #MeToo in Bollywood: Nushrat Bharucha Supports Director Luv Ranjan Against Sexual Harassment Allegations.

If reports are to believe, Ajay will be playing Ranbir's father in their next collaboration. The project was even touted as shelved when the sexual harassment allegations were hurled against Luv Ranjan. And it was only after things and controversies had calmed down that the filmmaker started working on his next. The film is expected to start rolling by this year-end and release in December 2020.
