The curious case of Luv Ranjan's next is making us nervous and excited at the same time. Is the movie happening? Some say yes, others say no. But if a recent report is to believe, the project is very much on track and is not shelved definitely. Recently, there were reports about Ajay Devgn (who was also a part of this project) exiting it. While this is indeed true, the report that Ranjan has decided to put his next on a backburner is completely untrue.

As per Rajeev Masand's column in the Open Magazine, Ranbir is still a part of this movie and he'll be joined by Deepika Padukone in the same. Reports about the actress distancing herself from the project post the #MeToo accusations against the director are completely baseless. The only reason why the movie kept getting delayed was to accommodate RK Jr's date issues. Since the Sanju star is busy with Brahmastra and Shamshera, the shooting of Ranjan's next will only start in February 2020.

The timing, in fact, also reminds us of Deepika Padukone revealing details about her next project during her interaction at Jio MAMI Film Festival. "So, I’ve found a film that I’ll likely do early next year…but it’s not light. It will be quite dark, but it’s still in the romance space," she said while speaking about her next after '83 and Chhapaak. We wonder if she was hinting about the same project with her Tamasha co-star. If yes, we are dying to read more deets about the same.
