New Delhi: Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput has a couple of exciting projects in his kitty, be it Kedarnath, Son Chiraiya or The Fault in our stars Hindi remake. The talented actor is all set to work with Dangal director Nitesh Tiwari in his next film after the Aamir Khan starrer. The college drama will be produced by Sajid Nadiawala. Speculations were rife that Kriti Sanon will be seen as the female lead in the upcoming film. Interestingly, the two actors have previously worked in Dinesh Vijan’s Raabta.

However, as per the latest buzz, the Heropanti actress won’t be part of Tiwari’s next film.  A report in a leading daily suggested that Kriti was not approached for the flick opposite Sushant.

Grapevines were earlier buzzing with the rumours that Shraddha Kapoor would play the female lead in the film. It was speculated that Kriti had replaced the Saaho actress, but the report in the daily suggests otherwise.

''The film’s makers are still working out modalities with Shraddha, who will sign on the dotted line as soon as the terms are locked. That is the reason they haven’t announced the female lead yet. As for Kriti, she is definitely not in the film as of now,'' sources told DNA.


On the work front, Shraddha is currently busy shooting for Batti Gul Meter Chalu opposite Shahid Kapoor. The two actors previosuly worked in Vishal Bhardwaj’s Haider. The Bollywood diva will also be seen in the horror comedy drama- Stree opposite Rajkummar Rao.

Sushant and Shraddha have not worked together yet and it would be interesting to see their chemistry together.
