Netizens on social media pages have been adoring Sidharth Malhotra's character in romantic comedy genres for the past few days, a trend that was somewhat common during his early career. Now, it appears that the actor's next film will revolve around the theme of love. According to reports, he was eager to get back into romance after starring in a string of actioners, including Mission Majnu (2023), Yodha, and Indian Police Force, and he appears to have found the perfect film to do it. Dinesh Vijan is reportedly producing a romantic comedy in which Malhotra will star.

Sidharth Malhotra's collaboration with Dinesh Vijan and Tushar Jalota

The producer's production firm has been in contact with the actor for some time, according to Mid Day. The screenplay captivated him, and he is thrilled to be collaborating with a company known for producing contemporary romantic films. Tushar Jalota, who oversaw the film Dasvi (2022), will direct the unnamed project.

This marks a return to Malhotra's preferred genre during his early years as a professional actor. Student of the Year (2012) was his first film, and it was a romantic comedy set on a college campus. He went on to star in several rom-coms, such as Hasee Toh Phasee (2014) and Baar Baar Dekho (2016).

Commitment to his fans' preferences

According to the source, the actor believes his fans enjoy seeing him in this genre. During this period, he was firmly committed to directing a conventional romance film. Because of its fresh tone, this film is ideal for that.

Later this year, the project will roll out, given that everything is going according to plan.

Potential role in Race 4 with Saif Ali Khan

Meanwhile, Malhotra is likely to join Saif Ali Khan in Race 4. A source told Pinkvilla that although Ramesh Taurani has an in-house writing staff that came up with the rough outline for Race 4, he hired a number of seasoned filmmakers and writers to flesh out the story. While scripting is underway, he has already begun talks with Malhotra about co-starring with Saif in Race 4. The actor is excited to star in the film because he is a huge fan of the Race franchise.

The source informed the entertainment portal that the decision to reboot the Race franchise, featuring Saif and Malhotra in a face-off, is a commitment to the franchise's world. Both heroes are multi-faceted, making it a straightforward two-hero film.
