After delivering two of the most popular Hindi films of 2018 — AndhaDhun and Badhaai Ho — actor Ayushmann Khurrana has signed an upcoming comedy film as his next. Directed by Raaj Shanndilyaa and produced by Ekta Kapoor, the yet-to-be-titled film will go on floors next week.

In the film, Ayushmaan will be paired with Nushrat Bharucha, whose last release, Sonu Ki Titu Ki Sweety, directed by Luv Ranjan, was another major hit of the year.

Talking about her first collaboration with the actor, Nushrat says, “I am excited to work with Ayushmann for this comedy entertainer. After working with Ekta in the past, this is a homecoming of sorts for me. Interestingly, this year has been good for strong, content-driven films; and this film will, hopefully, continue this tide.” 

While Raaj Shaandilyaa has written the screenplay for many films, this is his directorial debut.
