Bollywood gossip is all hearsay about who the female lead in Sidharth Malhotra’s next mass entertainer will be. Helmed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, and produced by Mahaveer Jain, with the project being hyped as a would-be franchise. There is added usual chatter over Ananya Panday Vs Sreeleela; who would get casted to opposite the actor.
