The film industry welcomes new star kids annually, some of whom achieve instant success while others face setbacks. This particular film, produced by Maddock Films, has been the subject of speculation regarding Rajesh Khanna’s granddaughter, Naomika Saran, and her potential Bollywood debut. As the daughter of Rinke Khanna and niece of Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna, Naomika has been generating considerable interest. Initially, it seemed she might star opposite Agastya Nanda, the grandson of Amitabh Bachchan, who had already made his debut on OTT platforms. However, there seems to have been a casting change.
Previously, the film ‘The Archies’ by Zoya Akhtar saw the debut of several star kids, including Suhana Khan, Khushi Kapoor, Agastya Nanda, and Vedang Raina. Reports indicated that Naomika Saran was slated to star in her debut film alongside Agastya, but that has now changed.
Who has been cast in place of Big B’s grandson?
A recent news report revealed that Naomika Saran has been frequently seen at the Maddock Films office, along with Agastya Nanda. The initial plan was to launch both of them in Dinesh Vijan’s romantic comedy. However, the casting has shifted. It is now being said that Vedang Raina has replaced Agastya Nanda in the film. He will be taking the lead role in this project.
This upcoming project is planned as a romantic entertainer, directed by Jagdeep Sidhu, known for his successful work in the Punjabi film industry, including films like ‘Kismat’ and ‘Jatt & Juliet 3’. Sidhu is set to enter the Hindi film industry with a fresh cast, with the film planned to be shot in the scenic landscapes of Himachal Pradesh.
Who is Naomika Saran?
Naomika Saran is the daughter of Rinke Khanna, the younger daughter of Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia. Rinke Khanna married businessman Sameer Saran on February 8, 2003. There’s a buzz surrounding Naomika’s upcoming Bollywood debut, generating excitement for the entry of Rajesh Khanna’s granddaughter.
