Janhvi-Rajkumar to stir up romance with a pinch of horror?

Hyderabad: Janhvi Kapoor seems to realise one of her dreams soon. The actress, who is a huge fan of supremely versatile actor Rajkumar Rao, has apparently bagged a film alongside her favourite star.

The rumour mills are abuzz with Janhvi and Rajkumar starring together in Dinesh Vijan's next. The filmmaker who hit the bull's eye with 'Stree' is seemingly gearing up to roll out yet another horror comedy. To play the male lead, Vijan apparently wanted none other than Rao who amazingly played the role of a small town tailor in 'Stree'.

The film which is reportedly titled 'Rooh-Afza' has found its leading lady in one-film-old Janhvi. The makers zeroed down upon the Kapoor lass after watching her performance in 'Dhadak'. Besides talent, the story also demands a fresh pairing, said a source close to the project.

The makers are yet to come out with an official announcement, but that doesn't stop filmaholics who have already started hooting for the Janhvi and Rajkumar's upcoming collaboration.

On a related note, Vijan is expected to unite with Imtiaz Ali for 'Love Aaj Kal 2', for which Kartik Aaryan has been roped as the male lead. The Maddock Films head honcho has also announced 'Bala' with Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar.

Janhvi is currently busy with 'Kargil Girl', a biopic on Indian Air Force pilot Gunjan Saxena who was India’s first woman combat pilot to have actively participated in the Kargil War in 1999. She also has Karan Johar’s multi-starrer magnum opus 'Takht' in her kitty.

Looking at Rajkummar's upcoming projects, the actor seems to be gearing up for some amazing performances. He will be seen opposite 'Queen' co-star Kangana Ranaut in 'Mental Hai Kya' after which he has 'Turram Khan' and 'Made in China' lined up for next.
