Ranveer
Singh-Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali,
Sanjay
Dutt-Rajkumar
Hirani,
David
Dhawan-Govinda.
These
all
are
actor-director
pairs
who
not
only
work
with
each
other
quite
often
but
also
create
magic
whenever
they
come
together.
However,
there
are
some
jodis
who
try
to
come
together
to
create
magic
but
are
thwarted
every
time,
be
it
due
to
creative
issues,
date
schedules,
or
something
else.
Such
is
the
case
between
Vicky
Kaushal
and
Aneesa
Bazmee.
As
the
director
of
films
like
No
Entry,
Welcome,
Singh
Is
Kinng,
and
Bhool
Bhulaiyaa
2,
calling
Anees
Bazmee
one
of
the
most
sought-after
directors
of
Bollywood
would
seem
like
an
understatement.
His
last
movie
has
now
become
one
of
the
highest-grossing
films
of
2022.
As
per
reports,
Anees
was
in
talks
with
Sardaar
Udham
actor
Vicky
Kaushal
for
his
untitled
next.
However,
as
per
ETimes,
Vicky
had
a
packed
schedule
due
to
which,
he
had
to
turn
Bazmee's
offer
down
due
to
the
unavailability
of
dates.
Initially,
Anne
Bazmee
had
his
Bhool
Bhulaiyaa
2
hero,
Kartik
Aaryan
in
his
mind
when
he
decided
on
the
script
for
his
next.
However,
due
to
date
issues,
he
had
to
move
on
from
he
and
then
started
talks
with
Vicky
Kaushal.
As
a
result
of
Vicky's
refusal,
Anees
is
now
in
search
of
another
actor
who
can
replace
Vicky
and
play
the
role
in
the
film
adequately,
and
if
possible,
better
than
Kaushal.
As
of
current,
the
director
did
approach
another
actor
for
the
role
whose
name
would
be
announced
as
soon
as
he
is
finalized.
After
Bhool
Bhulaiyaa
2's
success,
reports
have
it
that
Bazmee
can
be
offered
to
direct
Hera
Pheri
3.
The
film
recently
came
under
fire
due
to
Kartik
Aaryan's
addition
to
the
cast
and
Akshay
Kumar
quitting
the
beloved
role
of
Raju
in
the
film.
Apart
from
Hera
Pheri
3,
Bazmee
has
been
working
on
No
Entry
Mein
Entry
as
well,
a
film
that
is
said
to
be
the
sequel
to
the
2005
hit
No
Entry.
Vicky
Kaushal,
on
the
other
hand,
will
next
be
seen
in
Meghana
Gulzar's
Sam
Bahadur
with
Fatima
Sana
Sheikh
and
Sanya
Malhotra.
In
the
film,
he
will
essay
the
role
of
Sam
Manekshaw,
India's
first
Field
Marshal.
Additionally,
he
is
working
with
Bhumi
Pednekar
and
Kiara
Advani
in
the
movie
Govinda
Naam
Hai
Mera.
He
is
also
scheduled
to
appear
with
Sara
Ali
Khan
in
Laxman
Utekar's
untitled
next.
