Harshvardhan Rane\u2019s recent Diwali release Ek Deewane ki Deewaniyat, is performing well at the box office. Amidst its\u00a0success, Pinkvilla has exclusively learned that the actor is now in talks for a gangster film with producer Ekta Kapoor, and is set against the glitzy backdrop of Dubai.\u00a0Ekta Kapoor, known for her keen eye for talent and successful collaborations, has potentially considered him for it.<\/p>\n
According to our sources, the script has high-octane action, crime drama, and intense character arcs, and Ekta thinks Harshvardhan Rane<\/a> fits the bill. However, they are still in talks. “They\u2019re still figuring out on a lot of things about the film, but it\u2019s definitely a gangster saga with a contemporary edge. Audiences know Rane for intense love stories, and a film like this would position him in a completely different genre, giving him a fresh and edgy image,” the source reveals.\u00a0<\/p>\n While everything is in its final stages, an insider suggests that Rane\u2019s character will be layered, exploring the ruthless side of a gangster with a mix of emotional drama, which aligns with Ekta Kapoor<\/a>\u2019s signature storytelling style. If the project takes off, it could mark a significant step in Rane\u2019s career, cementing his place among the new generation of actors willing to take bold choices. Now all eyes are on the official announcement!\u00a0<\/p>\n We wonder if this will turn out to be Shootout 3 or Once Upon a Time in Mumbai 3, given its style and scale. Only time will tell!\u00a0<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Ekta has Ragini MMS 3 with Tamannaah Bhatia, and is working on multiple other films, which includes a mytho-thriller helmed by Anil Rahi Barve.<\/p>\n
