Hyderabad: Filmmaker Shakun Batra's next is one of the most talked-about films for its bosting of an interesting ensemble. The untitled film will feature Deepika Padukone as a fitness trainer who has an extra-marital affair with the character played by Dhairya Karwa.

Shakun's next is among the upcoming films which boast a mix of seasoned stars teaming up with a new breed of actors. Earlier, Deepika during an interview had said that Shakun's film is a domestic noir, a genre with which the Indian audience is not well acquainted with.

While the makers are trying their best to keep the details about film under wraps, few interesting aspects of the upcoming film however have made it to the webloids. According to the latest reports, Deepika and Dhairya will be seen having an illicit relationship and will be seen enacting intimate scenes in the film. Dhairya has also worked with Deepika's husband Ranveer Singh in 83 wherein he will be seen essaying the role of Ravi Shastri.

Earlier, Ishaan Khatter was in the race to romance Deepika but then the makers realised that he would look too young opposite the Piku actor and roped in Dhairya who is also housed by Karan Johar's talent management company Dharma Cornerstone Agency (DCA).

Another reason why Ishaan did not make the cut is his apparent not-so-warm relationship with Karan who is also bankrolling the film. While Ishaan is reportedly being ignored by KJo's Dharma Productions, his rumoured girlfriend Ananya has been roped in for two films produced by the banner. Shakun's film aside, Ananya also has hotly-anticipated Liger in her kitty.
