A report in a leading daily has suggested that Ishaan and Ananya have been signed for Ali Abbas Zafar’s production debut. “Since the Maximum City-centric film is a fresh take on the romantic genre and revolves around young people, Ali was keen to cast actors who are a big draw with youngsters. Both Ishaan and Ananya have impressed with their first films but have not worked together so it’s a new jodi as well,” a source told Mumbai Mirror.
