Rajkummar Rao to romance Vaani Kapoor in Anubhav Sinha's Bachpan Ka Pyar?

Rajkummar Rao, who recently collaborated with Anubhav Sinha in Bheed, has signed another film under his banner Benaras Media Works. If reports are to be believed, the upcoming film is titled Bachpan Ka Pyar, a small town love story set in Lucknow. In the female lead, Vaani Kapoor has roped in to romance Rajkummar in the upcoming movie.

Reportedly, Bachpan Ka Pyar will be helmed by Chaman Bahaar fame director Apurva Dhar Badgaiyann. "Anubhav Sinha is producing a small-town love story titled Bachpan Ka Pyar, and it will star Rajkummar Rao and Vaani Kapoor in the lead. It’s a quirky love story set in Lucknow and will be directed by Apurva Dhar Badgaiyann, who previously helmed the Jitendra Kumar-starrer romantic comedy Chaman Bahaar. Both Rajkummar and Vaani have signed the film and will begin shooting for it sometime next month," a source told Pinkvilla.

The upcoming film will mark Rajkummar’s third collaboration with Anubhav after Bheed, and the yet-to-be-released anthology on coronavirus pandemic. On the other hand, for Vaani, it would be her first experience working with Anubhav, and Rajkummar. Meanwhile, besides Bachpan Ka Pyar, Anubhav has planned three other projects under his production. However, the details of the same are under wraps.

Meanwhile, Rajkummar has other interesting projects lined up in his kitty. He will feature in Sharan Sharma’s directorial Mr & Mrs Mahi co-starring Janhvi Kapoor. He also geared up for horror-comedy Stree 2, the second installment of the Stree franchise. Besides them, he has signed up for Guns & Gulaabs and Sri. On the other hand, Vaani is set to make her digital debut with Yash Raj Films’ crime thriller Mandala Murders. She also has Sarvgunn Sampann, which is backed by Maddock Films; and Khel Khel Mein alongside Akshay Kumar and Taapsee Pannu.
