Govinda’s son, Yashvardhan Ahuja, is set to make his acting debut with a love story that is being helmed by Telugu director Sai Rajesh, according to a report in Pinkvilla.

Sources told the publication, “The yet untitled love story will bring the second generation of Govinda’s legacy to the big screen. Yashvardhan auditioned for the part and bagged it based on the merits. The film will be helmed by Sai Rajesh and produced by Madhu Mantena with Allu Aravind and SKN Films.”

The report also stated that Mukesh Chhabra is serving as the casting director for the film and working towards finalising the female lead. “The nationwide hunt to lock the female lead of the film is spearheaded by Mukesh Chhabra and the casting director has received over 14,000 audition clips so far. The female protagonist will be locked soon as makers are looking to take the film on floors by Summer 2025,” the source said.

Govinda has been away from films for the past few years. He last worked in Rangeela Raja, which was released in 2019.
