Ananya Panday is currently gearing up for the release of her film, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri. The actress will be seen opposite Kartik Aaryan
in the romantic-comedy. Post its release, the actress was supposed to lead a film called Choomantar. The actress was reportedly going to star alongside Abhay Varma in the film. However, the latest development is that Ananya has apparently backed out of the project.
Ananya Panday backs out of Choomantar?
According to a media report, Ananya had to let go off Choomantar due to scheduling issues with Call Me Bae 2. "The team of Choomantar is aiming to begin filming in January 2026. That clashes with Call Me Bae 2, which recently went on floors. So, Ananya and the makers of Choomantar decided to part ways, with the promise of working soon," a source told Mid-Day.
After her rumoured exit, the star cast reportedly underwent changes. As per the report, Vash 2 actress Janki Bodiwala and Sreeleela might lead the film with Abhay.
