While announcing his next project with Shakun Batra, Deepika Padukone, and Ananya Panday through his Instagram account, Siddhant Chaturvedi could barely contain his happiness for the film which is reportedly a unique and unusual romantic story and very unlike a typical Dharma love story.

Directed by Shakun Batra, the film is likely to go on floors by mid-2020 and is scheduled for a Valentine's Day 2021 release. Earlier on Monday, in an interview with an entertainment portal, Siddhant Chaturvedi also confirmed that he will be a part of a horror-comedy project opposite actor Katrina Kaif.

The actor has also bagged the sequel to the hit Yash Raj film Bunty Aur Babli and will feature in it with newcomer Sharvari along with Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukerji in important roles.
