Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Dhawan

Rumours are rife that Janhvi Kapoor is being onboarded opposite Varun Dhawan in the new Dulhania film. Over six years since Badrinath Ki Dulhania (2017), director Shashank Khaitan and producer Karan Johar are said to have found an apt subject to take forward the franchise that began with Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (2014). Reportedly, Alia Bhatt, who played the bride in the romcom series won’t be reuniting with Varun, Shashank and KJo for the third outing. Incidentally, like the Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani actor, Janhvi, too, is a Dharma protégée, having debuted with the production house’s Dhadak (2018). The new Dulhania film will mark Janhvi’s second collaboration with Varun after last year’s Bawaal. The makers are planning to start the romcom later this year, after Varun completes his remake of Atlee’s Tamil hit, Theri (2016), and a considerable portion of his next with director-dad David Dhawan.
