Love of lonely souls

Jee Karda actor Suhail Nayyar's next is a Jio Cinemas offering, Ishq-E-Nadaan, a love story set in the bustling metropolis, Mumbai. Directed by Avishek Ghosh, it features an ensemble cast, including Neena Gupta, Lara Dutta, Shriya Pilgaonkar, and Mohit Raina. Nayyar, who shares screen space with Pilgaonkar, says that their "cute love story" drew him to the project. "There are three different tracks in the film, and all are connected in certain ways. I play an unambitious, happy-go-lucky guy, until an encounter with a stranger effects change. Shriya and I would first do rehearsals together, and then discuss our scenes with Abhishek sir," he says. Nayyar also has Sonakshi Sinha's next, Nikita Roy and the Book of Darkness, and Homi Adjania's Murder Mubarak, in his kitty.

Idol finds an idol

Taking to Twitter amid news that exclusive content of the film would be unveiled at the San Diego Comic Con, he wrote, "I am honoured and have had the great privilege of being part of this great enterprise in Telugu cinema, and to have had the huge honour of being in the same frame as the idol, Prabhas. The humility, respect and concern that Prabhas has [shown for] me has been touching and emotional. Not for me, but for all those involved with Project K, may your hard work touch new horizons." The multi-lingual sci-fi film boasts an ensemble cast, including Kamal Haasan, Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Disha Patani.
