If finalised, this will mark the first on-screen collaboration between Shahid and Janhvi…the story revolves around a fun and relatable relationship journey. It’s an out-and-out comedy, and Shahid is excited to revisit the genre after a while."

The report further states that Janhvi Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor’s film is tentatively set to go on floors in the latter part of 2026, after Shahid wraps up shooting for Farzi Season 2 by Raj and DK.
