The Hindi film industry’s renewed appetite for youthful romance seems to be shaping its next big casting coup. Riding on the wave of audience interest in emotionally driven love stories like Saiyaara and
Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, a new project is quietly taking shape that could bring together three of the most talked-about Gen Z faces in Bollywood. Rohit Saraf, Nitanshi Goel, and Rasha Thadani are reportedly being considered for an intense romantic drama that will have passion, conflict, and emotions. While still in the discussion stage, the potential collaboration has already sparked curiosity, given the trio’s rising popularity and very distinct on-screen personas.
Rohit Saraf, Nitanshi Goel, Rasha Thadani to star in love story
According to reports in
Mid-Day, producers Atul Kasbekar and Tanuj Garg, known for backing acclaimed films like
Neerja (2016), are in advanced conversations with the three actors to headline the project. The film is envisioned as a high-stakes love story that places emotions and relationships at the forefront. Latest reports suggest that talks with the actors are moving at a brisk pace, though the makers are yet to lock a director for the venture.
The timing of the project appears strategic. The massive success of
Saiyaara (2025) has reignited the belief that audiences are once again eager to watch stories centered on young love, vulnerability, and emotional intensity and that such films are not just meant for the OTT space. Filmmakers are now leaning into narratives that feel contemporary but raw, and this proposed film seems to align perfectly with that trend.
Why are Rohit-Nitanshi-Rasha the first choice?
As per the same report, the casting choice is far from accidental. Rohit Saraf has carved a niche for himself with his gentle, boy-next-door appeal, standing apart from the larger-than-life, hyper-masculine heroes often seen in mainstream cinema. His popularity has seen a steady rise, especially after the success of
Mismatched, which showed his romantic sensitivity and relatability.
On the other hand, Nitanshi Goel and Rasha Thadani have both made strong first impressions with their respective debuts in
Laapataa Ladies (2024) and
Azaad (2025). Both performances were loved for their natural screen presence. The makers reportedly believe that pairing these three together could allow them to explore a dramatic, emotionally charged space that none of them has fully ventured into before.With casting discussions underway and creative decisions still being finalised, this Gen Z-led love story could well become one of the most anticipated romantic dramas in the near future.
