Siddharth Gupta, who recently played Lord Krishna in Krishnavataram Part 1: The Heart, is being considered for the male lead in Janhvi Kapoor and Sreeleela’s upcoming thriller, as per our sources. The yet-to-be-titled film is being directed by Pagglait filmmaker Umesh Bist and is backed by Ektaa Kapoor and Guneet Monga Kapoor.
The film, which brings Janhvi and Sreeleela together for the first time, is said to revolve around two women who become obsessed with the same man. While details about the plot are being kept under wraps, the project is described as a romantic thriller with darker and emotionally intense elements. The makers are looking to lock the male lead ahead of the film going on floors around October-November.
We hear that Gupta is currently among the names being considered for the part. If finalised, the casting would mark an interesting turn for the actor, who has spent more than a decade trying to establish himself in the industry and recently found wider recognition with Krishnavataram Part 1.
Gupta made his feature film debut with Kuku Mathur Ki Jhand Ho Gayi in 2014 and later appeared in Ragini MMS: Returns.
On the work front, Janhvi Kapoor will next be seen in Atlee’s Raaka, alongside Allu Arjun, Deepika Padukone and Rashmika Mandanna. She also has Lag Jaa Gale with Tiger Shroff and Lakshya in the pipeline.
Sreeleela, meanwhile, has Anurag Basu’s untitled romantic musical with Kartik Aaryan in the pipeline. She will also be seen in the Tamil film OM: Chapter 1 – Udhiram: The Blood Wood, alongside Dhanush and Sai Pallavi.
