The debacle of Raabta (2017) notwithstanding, rumoured lovebirds Sushant Singh Rajput and Kriti Sanon might share screen space again. We hear, director Nitesh Tiwari has zeroed in on Sanon as the leading lady of his next, which is reportedly a student drama.

A source informs, "While the filmmaker was in talks with a few actors for the part, he was keen on Kriti - he was impressed with her performance in Bareilly Ki Barfi (2017), which was written by him. The two met recently to discuss the project. Kriti is quite excited about the script. It's in the final stages of discussion, but she is yet to sign on the dotted line. One can expect the final announcement later this month."
