Another love triangle? Seriously? Bollywood needs to move on. But Pragati seems promising—at least she's worked in south films and has some experience. Let's hope the comedy-thriller angle saves it.
Naomika is Rajesh Khanna's granddaughter! That's some legacy. But honestly, talent should speak louder than surnames. Hope Vedang gets a good script—his 'Main Vaapas Aaunga' sounds promising with the Partition backdrop.
As someone who follows Bollywood from the US, it's interesting how family connections still dominate. But I'm curious about the comedy-thriller mix—that could be refreshing. The 2026 release feels far away though. 😅
Pragati deserves more attention! She's worked in south films and has done meaningful projects like 'Janaadesh'. Hope this gives her the mainstream break she needs. Naomika will obviously get the spotlight, but let's see who shines on screen.
A love triangle with two new actresses? That's a bold move for a debutant director. Jagdeep Sidhu must have confidence in his script. But I'm more excited about Vedang's Partition film—those stories always hit hard emotionally.
