Sooraj Barjatya To Kick Off Shooting For Ayushmann Khurrana-Sharvari’s Next From November 1

Ayushmann Khurrana is currently gearing up for Thamma, which is all set to release this Diwali, that is, on October 21. Ten days after the release of the horror comedy, the talented actor will start filming for blockbuster director Sooraj Barjatya’s yet-untitled family film. It will be produced by Rajshri Productions and Mahaveer Jain Films.

A source informed, “After Uunchai (2022), Sooraj Barjatya’s last film, Rajshri Productions has decided to join hands once again with Mahaveer Jain Films. Both Sooraj Barjatya and Mahaveer Jain had a wonderful time working with each other on Uunchai and hence, they decided to collaborate yet again.”

The source continued, “The film goes on floors on November 1. It is a romantic family entertainer and would have

the trademark Sooraj Barjatya stamp. Besides Ayushmann, it also stars Sharvari.” The film is presented and produced by Rajshri Productions in association with Mahaveer Jain Films and Anita Gurnani.

Last week, Ayushmann Khurrana attended the first day of the silver jubilee edition of FICCI Frames 2025. At his session, he confirmed for the first time that he had signed Sooraj Barjatya’s next. He said, “As for my line-up, Thamma is my first big Diwali release. It would be followed by a Sooraj Barjatya film, which is for a wider audience. Then I am also doing a Dharma film, which also would be for a wider audience.”

Sooraj Barjatya says his next film is with Ayushmann Khurrana

In an interview with PTI, Sooraj Barjatya said, “We’re shooting the film with them (Ayushmann and Sharvari) in Mumbai. It’s a story set in Mumbai. He is a dedicated and fine actor. It’s all about getting the right story and making it look real and making it with the right cast. Besides them, we’ve more people in the cast, like how we have it in all my films.”

Ayushmann Khurrana teams up with Karan Johar for a spy comedy

The film, yet to be named, will be directed by Aakash Kaushik and is expected to be a unique spy comedy. Sources close to the project told entertainment portal Pinkvilla, “Karan and Guneet have been very excited about this subject as the script has shaped up well with a perfect blend of espionage elements with comedy. The script tick marks all the boxes of a commercial film as it has scale, thrill, and action with a lot of comedy, and the trio of Karan, Guneet, and Aakash feel that Ayushmann Khurrana fits the character to the T.”

This film promises to redefine the spy genre within Hindi cinema and will stand out as a quintessential Ayushmann Khurrana film.
