Sharvari Wagh is currently negotiating to play the leading lady opposite Kartik Aaryan in director Luv Ranjan’s upcoming romantic comedy. The project marks a highly anticipated reunion for Aaryan and Ranjan, who are looking to return to their established formula after their 2018 box office hit.
Ranjan is finalizing the script and intends to begin principal photography by December 2026. Aaryan will receive a full script narration soon to lock in the final creative details. Meanwhile, Sharvari is scheduled for her formal narration around August 2026, which is expected to lead straight into the final paperwork.
This casting creates a remarkable full-circle moment in the industry. When Sharvari was 17, she originally auditioned for Ranjan’s 2015 sequel but was rejected for being too young for the adult comedy. Instead, she joined his crew as a clap assistant director, where she learned the ropes on the set of his previous film. Now, she is stepping up as the primary female lead in their next major feature.
The actress is currently balancing a packed schedule ahead of this planned December shoot. She is wrapping up promotional duties for the YRF Spy Universe film Alpha, which hits theaters on July 3. Following that, she will appear in Sooraj Barjatya’s Yeh Prem Mol Liya later this year, making this Ranjan collaboration her third major confirmed project in the pipeline.
