Kriti Sanon and Rajkummar Rao are the go-to actors for filmmaker Dinesh Vijan. According to reports, the two will be seen together for the producer's next untitled family directed by Abhishek Jain.

Before, this, Rao was seen in Vijan's Made in China (2019) and Stree (2018). While, Sanon and Vijan have teamed up for Luka Chuppi (2019), Arjun Patiala (2019), and Raabta (2017). Rao had made a special appearance in Raabta. Sanon and late ex-flame Sushant Singh Rajput struck up a rapport with the filmmaker after Raabta. In 2017, the trio had also holidayed together in Switzerland.

We are certainly looking forward to see the pair on-screen together. Meanwhile, Rao will be next seen in Vijan's horror comedy Roohi opposite Janhvi Kapoor. It is all set to have a theatrical release on March 1. The film is one of the first Bollywood projects to arrive in theatres after the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting allowed cinema halls across the country to operate at full capacity from February 1 with adherence to COVID-19 safety protocols.

The film revolves around a singing ghost who puts grooms to sleep so it can possess their brides. Apart from this, Rao also has Harshvardhan Kulkarni's Badhaai Do with Bhumi Pednekar. He started off prepping for the character's look in November 2020. Rao shared a picture of him in a gym and wrote alongside, "New role, new prep"

A month later, Rajkummar treated fans to his stunning photo, showcasing his chiselled physique. He penned a thoughtful caption which read, "Bachpan me suna tha mehnat ka fal meetha hota hai or fal jitna meetha khana hai, mehnat utni hi krni hoti hai. #BeMehnati" (I heard as a child that hard work bears sweet fruits and the sweeter you want the fruits to be, harder you'd have to work. #BeHardworking)"

A few weeks on, Rajkummar shared another snap on Instagram, in which he soared temperature with his toned built. Rao was seen sporting a shirtless look, which was captured in the gym. His perfectly shaped upper body and toned shoulders, were visible in the picture. Rao yet again penned a creative caption which read, "#WorkInProgress #NEWTAN (new body) To get a new look for a new character, need to get a new body and a new mindset. #BadhaiDo #Bemehnati (be hard-working)."

Talking about Sanon, she is now gearing up for films like Bachchan Pandey and Mimi, which are slated to release this year. Recently, she was announced as the lead actress opposite Tiger Shroff in Ganapath, the Vikas Bahl directorial.

The news was announced with a poster launch that shows Kriti in a never seen before sensational action avatar. This will be the second film that Kriti and Tiger will be doing together after their debut film, Heropanti. Kriti Sanon said, I'm thrilled to re-unite with Tiger after about 7years and also to be directed by Vikas in a space that is so new to me. I've been wanting to explore the genre of Action since a while now and I'm super excited to do so on such a massive scale with Pooja Entertainment! Jackky is a very passionate producer and I'm glad to be starting my journey with them with such a cool character."
