Alia Bhatt to Join Nag Ashwin’s Next?

The specific genre and additional details remain undisclosed at this time; however, Nag Ashwin is reportedly in advanced discussions with Alia Bhatt regarding a project that holds significant personal importance for him. According to a source familiar with the situation, Alia is enthusiastic about the universe Nag envisions and is eager to partner with the innovative director.

"They are currently coordinating schedules, as Alia wishes to ensure that the timelines for Love & War are fully confirmed before she commits to another project starting in November. Nag Ashwin aims to commence filming in November and complete it within a defined timeframe, as Kalki 2898 AD Part Two is expected to begin in the latter half of 2026. At present, they are focused on finalizing logistical arrangements prior to completing the contractual formalities. Creatively, both parties are aligned; the primary concern now is synchronizing their schedules," the source elaborated.
