Naomika Saran, Rajesh Khanna’s granddaughter, to debut in romantic comedy opposite Vedang Raina: Report
The film, expected to go on floors by mid-2026, will pair Naomiak Saran opposite Vedang Raina, who was last seen within the Alia Bhatt–produced Jigra (2024). In keeping with a report by Mid-Day, the young debutante has been preparing intensively for her first film over the past 12 months, with workshops in acting and dance designed to shine her craft before getting into the highlight.
Naomiak Saran is the daughter of Rinke Khanna, who made her own acting debut in Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi (1998), and the niece of Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar. Though she belongs to one in all Bollywood’s most celebrated families, Naomika has largely stayed away from the media glare until recently, when her frequent visits to Maddock Movies’ office set off speculation about her debut.
Interestingly, the project initially had Agastya Nanda, the grandson of Amitabh Bachchan, attached because the male lead. Nevertheless, after discussions and scheduling conflicts, the role was recast with Vedang Raina. A source told Mid-Day, “Vedang and Naomika have great chemistry. When the team saw them together, it just clicked. Vedang is currently shooting for an Imtiaz Ali film and can move on to this project next”.
The romantic comedy will reportedly be directed by a fresh face from the Maddock Movies stable, aligning with producer Dinesh Vijan’s ongoing strategy of mixing young talent with new-age storytelling.
Unlike the everyday fanfare accompanying star-kid debuts, Naomika’s team has chosen a deliberate and low-key approach. “Dinesh and his team were clear they didn’t wish to announce her debut until she was completely ready,” the source added.
