After Saiyaara and Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Shaad Randhawa to Star in Sooraj Barjatyaâs Next

Dec 17, 2025 · 4:23 PM Blog By onmynews.com

Actor Shaad Randhawa has had quite an eventful 2025 with three releases in the year. Two of them turned out to be big blockbusters with Saiyaara and Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat creating a storm at the box office. Taking that momentum forward, the actor has now signed another big film with a legacy production house.

Shaad will next be seen in filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya’s next directorial, featuring Ayushmann Khurrana in the lead. This marks his first collaboration with the Barjatyas, and the actor has already started shooting for the film.

Shaad informs, “All I can say is that this is a completely different role from anything I’ve portrayed before. This film is extremely special to me, as it has always been a dream to work with Sooraj ji. I am deeply grateful to Sooraj ji and Mukesh Chhabra bhai for giving me this opportunity.”

While details of the films are being kept under wraps, Ayushmann had recently revealed that he plays the role of Prem in the film, and it is a bit different from the brand of family entertainers that Sooraj Barjatya is known for. The film has a beautiful message without being preachy, and the genre of the film lies somewhere in the middle of Sooraj Barjatya’s and Ayushmann Khurrana’s kinds of films.

During an interview with News 18 earlier, Ayushmann talked about his character in the film and said, “You will be actually surprised that in Sooraj Barjatya’s film, the world is simpler and softer. Prem is the character who is simple, soft and a green flag. I would like to explore that part again.”

Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari are set to co-star for the first time in Sooraj Barjatya’s upcoming romantic family entertainer. The film is set to be produced by Rajshri Productions and Mahaveer Jain Films.
