Rohit Saraf, Nitanshi Goel and Rasha Thadani in talks for intense love story backed by Neerja makers: Report
The project is described as an “intense love story”, and while talks with the trio are progressing, the makers haven’t yet finalised a director. The report quoted an insider accustomed to the casting rationale, who said the producers are aiming to present a fresh dynamic on screen. “Rohit has a soft, romantic charm, removed from the alpha heroes we see on screen today. His popularity has only increased with Mismatched,” the person said, referring to Saraf’s acclaimed romantic drama series on Netflix.
The insider added that Nitanshi Goel and Rasha Thadani have attracted audience interest with their respective Bollywood debuts — Goel in Laapataa Ladies (2024) and Thadani in Azaad (2025) — making the mix intriguing for a story centred on young love.
The report speculates that the makers are in search of a director with a powerful vision for character-driven romance, but a reputation has not yet been finalised. Talks are ongoing, and official confirmations on timelines, story and inventive team are expected once the important thing roles are locked.
If the project moves forward, it can add to a growing slate of youth-oriented romantic movies in Hindi cinema, following the success of recent titles that connected with audiences through relatable emotional narratives.
