Jaideep Ahlawat’s is currently gearing up for the release of Jaane Jaan with Kareena Kapoor Khan and Vijay Varma.
As Jaideep Ahlawat’s next OTT film Jaane Jaan with Kareena Kapoor Khan and Vijay Varma is about to be released on Netflix month, the actor is already gearing up for his next film with Kareena’s husband Saif Ali Khan. Earlier reports had claimed that the film would be helmed by Robbie Grewal and produced by Siddharth Anand under his banner, Marflix Production. The action-thriller is yet to receive a title.
Pinkvilla recently reported that Jaideep has been cast as the antagonist for the film. Pinkvilla quoted a source as saying, “Jaideep has over the years emerged as the top choice for antagonist roles in Hindi films as the actor has time and again reinvented himself in the grey parts. While he was always at the top of the mind for producers to play key roles in the films, his shot to fame is the portrayal of a cop in Paatal Lok.”
The source added that Siddharth is a fan of Jaideep and considers him a perfect fit for the project. Talking about the film itself, the source said, “It’s essentially a racing-against-time action thriller with a heist and a rescue operation in its backdrop. The idea is to spin it into a big-scale action franchise for the digital platform, and all the players are bullish about the prospects of the film.”
Meanwhile, the producer is currently wrapping the shoot of Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone’s Fighter. The film is scheduled to release in theatres sometime during the Republic Day weekend next year. After Fighter, Siddharth will begin the shoot for the next film in the Yash Raj Films’ Spy Universe, Tiger vs Pathaan starring Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan respectively.
The producer also has some other interesting projects in the pipeline, including Sujoy Ghosh’s untitled next with Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan and Rohit Dhawan Rambo with Tiger Shroff and Janhvi Kapoor.
