The rumour mill is churning with exciting news for Bollywood fans! Anees Bazmee, known for his blockbuster comedies like ‘No Entry’ and ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’, is reportedly gearing up for his next venture titled ‘Ram Aur Shyam’. What’s making headlines is the potential casting for the film’s central double role, with three of the industry’s most sought-after actors – Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, and Kartik Aaryan – said to be in contention.
While the title ‘Ram Aur Shyam’ might bring to mind the iconic 1967 film starring Dilip Kumar, sources close to the project clarify that this will not be a remake. Instead, director Anees Bazmee aims to offer a fresh interpretation of the classic twin-themed narrative for today’s audience. This new project seems to be taking precedence over the much-anticipated ‘No Entry Mein Entry’, signaling a shift in the filmmaker’s immediate focus.
Sources suggest that ‘Ram Aur Shyam’ is in advanced stages of development and is slated to begin filming early next year. The film’s dual-role premise has sparked a friendly rivalry among the top actors. Kartik Aaryan is reportedly a strong contender, but juggling the busy schedules of all three stars presents a significant challenge. Ranveer Singh is committed to ‘Don 3’, Kartik has ‘Naagzilla’ in his pipeline, and Ranbir Kapoor is expected to move from ‘Love & War’ to ‘Dhoom 4’ preparations. Shahid Kapoor is also mentioned as a potential candidate if the dates align. If all goes well, the film could commence shooting by the end of February.
Anees Bazmee has a proven track record of delivering laugh-out-loud hits, and with ‘Ram Aur Shyam’, he appears poised to blend his signature comedic touch with a fresh generation of star power.
